The latest Personal Finance Carnival was posted yesterday at The Financial Blogger. These are just a few of my favorite posts from the carnival. Stop by The Financial Blogger and find your favorites.
Get Rich Slowly says that it is more important to be happy than it is to be rich. I so agree with this statement. I also believe that if we were happier with what we have it would be easier to save money. I try to spend some time each day thinking about all the things that I am thankful for and when I think about it, I am thankful for quite a bit.
J at Budgets Are Sexy writes about left over money. He is pretty candid about what he used to do in a financial crisis. Do you even know if you have any left over money?? Do you know what you spend your money on?
Building Credit Without Credit Cards is another one of my favorites because I often hear that used as an excuse to get credit cards. It’s wrong. You can also get a small personal loan at your local bank. Make the payments on time and you will be so much better off.
It is the time of year for receiving gift cards. Sweating the Big Stuff has some great tips for getting the most out of gift cards.
And finally, it’s time to start thinking about taxes again. Here are some end of the year tax tips from Christian PF.
I hope you enjoy these articles and will stop by the Carnival of Personal Finance to find your favorites.

I am also one of those who thought that you needed a credit card in order to build credit. Thank you for this great post and pointing out some of the obvious yet not so obvious points of finance.
And I totally agree with Get Rich Slowly’s idea of being happy with what you have because then you’ll come to realize that you really don’t need much and yes, you will end up saving more money!
Thanks for the mention!!
