Carnival Time!

Overachiever My Financial Journey hosts this week's Carnival of Personal Finance. With almost 50 entries, he still managed to get it out a day early (nothing wrong with that!), and with helpful context, to boot. Kudos!

Kristine at Beacon Financial Tips has some, well, tips about how to stay in-budget this holiday season.

This week's Carnival of the Capitalists can be found at Bargaineering. Over 30 posts, many with context (but alas, not all).

One Man Band blog's cehwiedel (not a typo) sounds an early warning bell about a new California universal health-insurance initiative.
