Happy Easter Links
by Mr Credit CardAlright, here are this week’s highlights from various carnivals that I participated in.
Firstly, No Credit Needed hosted the 94th Carnival of Personal Finance. I enjoyed the post about Money Lessons about Credit Card from Endless Gibberish, (which has a related theme to this blog) and I suggest you check out this article. If you are looking for a cheaper wireless provider, Pro Bargain Hunter tells you how to screw your wireless service provider!. This is a must read post for the serious bargain hunter.
Meanwhile, Credit Card Lowdown took a break from hosting the regular Carnival of Credit Card and passed the torch to Fire Finance for the 8th Carnival of Credit Card. As usual, there are a few interesting post related to this blog (ie about credit cards).
I would also like to thank Money Walks for including my post as the first article in his Editor’s Choice List at the 81st Carnvial of Debt Reduction. The one article that I truly enjoyed in this carnival is from John from Queercents who talks about how using cash rather than his credit card resulted in him saving money and thinking differently about spending and ads directed at us from merchants.
Today is also the first inaugural debut of the Carnival of Money, Growth and Happiness. The best article in my opinion came from Silicon Valley Blogger of The Digerati Life. His post on 9 reasons why he loves his credit card resonates with me. Too many posts have been written about why credit card stinks. Well, just like fire, you can either cook a good meal with it or burn the house down. I totally agree with SVB on this issue. If you think credit cards are evil, you should check out his post.
MapGirl was the host of the 68th Festival of Frugality. This festival really cracked me up. Firsly, Troy Bradley wrote about 3 Cheap Ways to win over ladies at Wise Bread. SVB cracked me up again with his post The Economics of Cosmetics – Should you invest in your looks or skimp on your makeup. Dude – I want my lady to look great – period (no skimping for me). But if you want to look at some pretty pictures and have a laugh, head over to the Valley!.
I also participated in the 6th Carnival of Debt Management over at Debt Consolidation Lowdown. Money Crashers was also the host of the 23rd Edition of the Festival of Under 30 Finance.
OK – That’s is for Easter Links . Enjoy.

HI Mr. Credit Card
Don’t worry, I did the same thing to ISPF from Grad Money Matters, who I just found out, was also a “she”.
First of all, thanks a great deal for mentioning my posts here. It is greatly appreciated! I also want to let you in on a medium sized secret in the blogosphere, and that is: the reason I talk about cosmetics in the way that I do, is because I’m a “she”.
Great Easter links and thanks for putting this together!

Dear Credit Card,
Thanks for the mention of the COCC#8 and a link to us.
From the comment above, it is amusing to know that ISPF and TDL are “she”
.
With best wishes,
FIRE Finance
