The Finance Buff

Sorry about the belated post about Carnival of Personal Finance #86, hosted at The Simple Dollar. My entry was Prosper.com Or Junk Bond Fund? which pondered on the similarity between lending on Prosper and buying a junk bond fund.

The carnival is harder to keep up now because there are so many good entries. I just finished reading all of them. These posts are my favorites in this carnival:

• Mail-In Rebates, Psychology, And An Interesting Analogy at Money, Matter, and More Musings - my hay days of “rebate stripping” business are over
• Ten Reasons I Love My Flexible Spending Account at Single Ma’s Fabulous Financials - same here, I use my FSA every year.
• Retirement Savings Contributions Credit at A Penny Saved - I don’t qualify but someone else might.
• My So-Called Personal Financial Life at No Credit Needed Blog - Mine’s pretty simple too. I hardly do any “investment research” because I already have everything in the total market index fund.
