The Carnival of Personal Finance #171 Published

September 23, 2008 By Debbie Dragon

This week’s personal finance carnival is hosted by Sound Money Matters and it’s a celebration of Fall. This is my favorite time of year, actually. Cool enough to wear long sleeves and jeans, warm enough not to have to bundle up like an eskimo everytime you step outside! Apple picking… there’s nothing I don’t like about autumn.

Here’s the blog posts that caught my eye from the carnival listing:
