BAZINGA!
Today is a special day on the Debt Black Hole! This is the FIRST TIME I've hosted a carnival. According to the TotallyMoney Blog- this is the 64th TotallyMoney Blog Carnival and I've dubbed it- THE BIG BANG THEORY BIRTHDAYS EDITION. Why? Because two actors from one of my favorite Geeky TV Shows- Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter) and Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Ramayan "Raj" Koothrappali) celebrate birthdays today. Johnny turns 37 and Kunal turns 31. Happy Birthday, guys!!! Although, I could probably write an entire post about how much money it seems they spend on comic books, action figures, video games and other geeky gadgets on the show each week or bore you with social commentary about how much "fictional" student debt both of these PhD'd characters probably have- this post isn't about me...it's about all the fantastic financial formulations shared by other Personal Finance Bloggers over the last couple of weeks. So embrace your inner financial geek and enjoy this week's submissions: MY EDITOR'S PICKS
Evan presents There Are No Money Rules posted at My Journey to Millions. Just like the Star Trek vs Star Wars debate- you're always going to find people who disagree with you on what's "best". Most financial rules are generalizations. Not every "rule" applies in every situation. Evan offers a nice look at a few rules that may not fit every situation.
Aloysa presents Who I Have Not Become posted at My Broken Coin. The fact that Aloysa grew up in the USSR and thought about joining the KGB when she was kid was enough to make me choose this one. I love cultural insights like this! Drew presents Is someone getting the best of you? posted at Objective Wealth. The Ayn Rand quotes certainly got my attention. Now, if only more people would embrace her "selfishness is a virtue" idea... Jeremy presents Thank You For Irresponsible Credit Card Usage posted at Modest Money. A great article about how responsible credit card users actually benefit from other people's misery and financial mistakes. I'm all for it! Then again...I'm evil like that.
