Weekly Carnival and Article Review - June 27, 2008

Each Friday I highlight the Carnivals I participated in over the past week, along with any notable articles that I came across. 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:

• Carnival of Money Stories published: The Race of Your Life [Editor's Pick]
• Carnival of Personal Finance published: Life is a Choice
• Festival of Stocks published: The Dark Side of Dividends
• Carnival of Financial Planning published: Stock Analysis: Paychex Inc (PAYX)
• Money Hacks Carnival published: The Will to Win

Beginning next Tuesday there is a new weekly carnival titled "Investing Carnival." The carnival's focus is on Value Investing, Dividend Investing and Long-term Buy-and-Hold Investing, as well as categories for real estate, commodities and other alternative investments. To participate please submit your article here no later than 5:00 PM ET each Sunday. The Carnival will post every Tuesday.
