Best of Money Carnival: Bento Food Art Edition

Welcome to the 10th Best of Money Carnival! I haven’t hosted a money blog carnival in ages, so it’s high time I did! I am highly honored and pleased to have been given the opportunity by FMF from Free Money Finance to host this week’s edition of the Best of Money Carnival . As an aside, I hope you’ll take the opportunity to subscribe to my RSS feed or email updates if you haven’t checked me out already. There were a ton of fantastic submissions this time, so it was really tough to whittle the list down to ten! I figured I would pick out the articles that stand out, had their own unique spin (or were just well written) and have each represent a different aspect of finance to help us round out our financial fix for the week. So yes, I tried my best to cover a wide range of topics in order to give each area of finance and business some representation

The summer has been bringing out a number of sweet deals. I’m noticing a few companies reviving their seasonal promotional programs; they’re working to lure customers to their side with enticing offers, either through discounts or in this case, through cash bonuses (which for a while, seemed to go on hiatus for a little bit).

Save Your Money By Paying Yourself Last

I am a steadfast believer of the Pay Yourself First strategy, but today, I wanted to publish the ideas and thoughts of someone with some unconventional, alternative viewpoints about the saving process. Earlier, we had a chance to discuss the money saving advice of Rob Bennett , a personal finance writer (theorist?). Rob wanted to follow up on the saving concept he’s dubbed “Paying Yourself Last” and tells us why it’s a better long term strategy for savers. Do you agree with him? Herewith are his words: Image by The New York Times

One Million Dollars Down The Drain

Have you become a millionaire yet? If so, then here’s the next challenge: hold on to the money! This really broke my heart. I just read a story from Tel Aviv about this unfortunate woman who lost her mattress. She had been sleeping on the same old, ratty mattress for decades, and her daughter felt she would do her mother a favor by trading it in for something nice and new. What her daughter didn’t realize was that the old mattress housed her mother’s life’s savings. Cash padded its interior which amounted to a million dollars. There are apparently still people out there who literally keep their money in their mattress (there are much better places to keep your money safe )
