Weekend Link Love And Carnival Roundup

The Finance Blog Network

Here are some of my favorite posts from around the finance blog network this week.

Andy from Saving To Invest brings us a guide on renting a place in D.C. for Obama’s inauguration.  $10,000 for a week.  Wow.

Curt from Penny Jobs thinks the recession will lead to stronger marriages.

Rich Credit Debt Loan reviews The Richest Man In Babylon, one of my all-time favorite personal finance books.

Passive Family Income writes about building a passive income stream with ehow.  This approach may take time, but I can see the potential over the long haul.  If you could write one or two articles per day you’d have a decent side income within a year or two.

Carnival of Personal Finance

This week’s Carnival of Personal Finance was hosted by one of my favorite blogs, Mighty Bargain Hunter.  Special thanks to mbhunter for including my post on my ideas for a privatized social security system.  Here are a few other posts that caught my eye this week.

Everyday Finance writes about repricing employee stock options.  I got an exceptionally good deal on options from my former employer.  Hopefully they’ll become the next Microsoft and redeem themselves.

Brip Brap asks if you need a bailout.  Yes please!

The Intelligent Speculator asks if corporate bonds are really safer investments.  The attitudes of many experts is shifting on this.  Many, such as William Bernstein and the Yale endowment’s David Swensen advocate investing only in short-term Treasury bonds and TIPS.
