We get a bonus post today because Get Rich Slowly has cleverly spun up some vinyls and put out a new album. His new hit which is guaranteed to top the charts is called Carnival of Personal Finance: Greatest Hits Edition. In the blogging world, a carnival is a collection of post on related topics from a variety of bloggers. It’s a huge list, so here are some of my favorites.
