Carnival Of Personal Finance

Thanks to Money Under 30 for including my post about the attributes of a good dividend stock in last week’s Carnival of Personal Finance #152.

Here are my two favorite posts of the carnival.

Kevin from No Debt Plan shares 10 Steps To Avoid Becoming A Millionaire. I know I’ve been guilty of at least half of these pitfalls at some point in the past, but I’d like to think I’ve atoned for my previous sins.

Steve from Brip Brap reveals that learning a foreign language was the best financial move he made in college. I completely agree. In fact, I probably wouldn’t have gotten my current job if I didn’t competently speak a foreign language. Judging from today’s demographic trends, I think one of the best ways to help secure your future earning potential is to learn basic spanish.
