Save and Conquer

Our article, Identity Theft – Reducing the Risk – Part 3, was listed in the Carnival of Personal Finance #151 – Bloggers on Surviving the Squeeze. This is another large carnival.

Save to the Future has a post on the never ending story of whether or not to combine finances in Money Management in Marriage. After our first month of marriage, my wife and I have used joint accounts for everything.

I really liked squawkfox’ Ten things you must carry in your purse or wallet as well as her companion piece, Ten things you should never carry in a purse or wallet. I am not certain how I will fit a notepad and pen, or a cell phone in my wallet, though.

The Wastrel Show has an interesting take on the down economy in How Mother Earth Is Solving The Economy. A very true statement from the post is, “The resurgence of Flea Markets (remember those?), swap meets and bartering are making a comeback.” I was reading that this resurgence of swaps and bartering is having a detrimental effect on charities. (In general, a bad economy has that effect.) So please don’t forget to continue to give if you can.

The Personal Financier has a very good post titled, How to Fortify Your Job: 10 valuable (and challenging) Tips. These 10 tips are good advice at any time, but are especially invaluable in an economic downturn.

There are lots of other great posts in the Carnival, so please check it out.

Stumble it!
