The Finance Buff

Carnival of Personal Finance #96 is up at AllFinancialMatters. My entry in the carnival was Which Vanguard Money Market Fund? which includes a calculator for after-tax yield and tax equivalent yield on different money market (and bond) funds. The host JLP organized the posts in the carnival by topics. My entry and the Investing category fell to the bottom of the barrel. I hope it’s not indicative of the host’s opinion on the quality of that post. :-) I’m glad to see these high quality posts by two bloggers new to me:

A Sub Prime Bail Out? Hell, No! at Money and Such — Agree 100%. A bail out encourages the wrong behavior.

Campaigning for a ROTH 401k at Broke Now, Rich Later — There is a good reason companies are slow in adding Roth 401(k) to their 401(k) plans. It creates a lot of confusion. When many employees don’t even understand their regular 401(k), adding Roth will only create more analysis paralysis. Too many options often lead to doing nothing.

I will read through the rest of the carnival later this week.
