Well, I’ve been waiting for a while to be the host of the Carnival of Personal Finance. It’s the crown jewel of money carnivals garnering so many submissions that it borders on overwhelming. I’m about to try and do it justice. If I don’t, please forgive me.

Well, that was quite the list of participants wasn’t it? I’m tired from all the typing and reading. I haven’t picked any favorites as there were just way too many to read each one thoroughly enough to make that decision. I did eliminate a few that were duplicate submissions and submissions where the same author submitted more than one entry. Sorry, but them’s my rules.
Maybe you all should pick some favorites! Speaking of favorites, be sure to check out the list of favorite posts here at A Penny Saved that is sitting over to the right. I’m sure you’ll find a few good entries. Also pay attention to the Related Posts section at the end of each post as it can help you find some other great A Penny Saved articles.

Hey! Thanks for hosting! Looks like a a lot of hard work…

Thanks for hosting.
Thanks for hosting. Thats a loooong list. I have created short summaries for some of the posts I liked at http://ispf.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-picks-from-carnival-of-personal.html
[...] Phew, there’s a lot of good stuff on today’s carnival of personal finance. While I was going through it, I made a list with short summaries of the articles I think are most relevant to students and fresh grads. Just making this list, based on the (not-so) short list at the carnival made my head spin. I can imagine how much of an effort it must be for the host! So, to be fair to the host, I am not including any links below – please head on over to the carnival for the links to the actual articles. [...]
This was a great Carnival. Thanks for the hard work of hosting it.
Cheers,
FIRE Finance
Yes, you did it. Good job!
… I also owe thanks to those that edited carnivals even as I was winging my way around the world. The information in the carnivals is still valuable almost two weeks later.
