Carnival of Personal Finance #87

Carnival of Personal Finance #87 is up today, but I just finished reading all the articles in the last carnival yesterday! How do I keep up? Anyway, my entry was Tax Deduction Denied, about my run-in with the AMT. I haven’t read all the articles in this carnival yet. These are some of the entries that interest me:

• Don’t Lose Your ATM Card! at Mapgirl’s Fiscal Challenge – Most ATM cards today have the MasterCard or Visa logo. They can be used by anybody without a PIN.
• No Employer 401K Match? Still Contribute at My Retirement Blog – Yes, especially if you don’t plan to work for the employer for long. But definitely fund a Roth IRA first.
  
• The Difference Between THEM and US When It Comes To Money at My Two Dollars – A cash gift went straight to retirement funds. Way to go!
• Pets take a bite out of your wallet at Blunt Money – I don’t have pets but it’s good to know cats cost less than dogs.

Enjoy!
