The Carnival of Personal Finance is Available

August 13, 2008 By Debbie Dragon

It’s college football and personal finace over at NoDebtPlan.com, the host of this week’s personal finance carnival.  Here are some of my favorites from the week:

• InsureBlog tells us about the downfall of social security disability payments. Scary indeed!
• Happiness is Better says to leave your bank and take your bill pay with you.
• Green Panda Tree is trying to minimize her use of student loans by looking at work study and grants.
• One Million and Beyond has found success by budgeting on a weekly basis
• Uncommon Cents looks into using Wal-Mart’s generic drug plan to save money even though he has good prescription benefits from work
