The Carnival of Personal Finance - A Fairy Tale Edition

January 5, 2009 By Debbie Dragon

WOW! The Clever Dude certainly lived up to his name when he published the first Carnival of Personal Finance for 2009. He turned all the submissions into a cute Fairy Tale.  He included a TON of posts in his story about Anastasia and Prince Mike.

My favorite selections from the fairy tale include:

• Insurance Toolbox with How to Save money Buying Life Insurance.
• Destroy Debt with What to Do if You Get Laid Off.
• Savings Toolbox with Setting up a Savings Account for Children.
• Deposit Accounts with 5 basic Steps to becoming a Millionaire.
• Credit Card Assist with 7 Things You Need to Know When You Cancel a Credit card.
