Weekly Carnival and Article Review - May 14, 2008

Each Friday I highlight the Carnivals I participated in over the past week, along with any notable articles that I came across. However, this week I have moved it to Wednesday since I will be out of pocket for the next few days. I do have articles scheduled to post while I am out, so hopefully Dividends4Life won't miss a beat. Next week, the Weekly Carnival and Article Review will move back to its normal Friday slot.

For those readers not familiar with carnivals, it's where personal finance bloggers submit their best articles of the week with one blog serving as the host. The entries are separated into various categories such as Investing, Credit, Debt, Budgeting, Frugality, Wealth Building, Money Management, Financial Planning, Insurance, Taxes, The Economy, Real Estate, et. al.

Below are the carnivals that I participated in this week, along with a link to my article:
