The Carnival of Money Stories #71-Wander Around the World with Me is now posted at Value for Your Life. There are 28 great stories including mine on Dealing with a monthly paycheck.

My picks:

• The Personal Financier uses a shocking title More than a Third of British Citizens are Only 11 Days Away from Financial Ruin: On The Importance of Good Financial Planning to emphasize the importance of a savings cushion. My last calculation left me at six months worth of expenses covered by my savings.


• Harvesting Dollars discusses Saving for a Car, a task important to me as well.


• The Sun's Financial Diary asks Did You Splurge? I love the Harry Potter books and am tempted by the $100 Collector's Edition of The Tales of the Beetle Bard.
