Carnival of Personal Finance #385 — Favorite Junk Food Edition
Mmm pizza. Oops sorry!
Welcome to this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance. As much as I love to train and eat well, there’s nothing like pigging out. The way I see it is that if you eat well all week and train hard, you deserve to eat like a slob one day a week. Tim Ferriss in The 4-Hour Body suggests that you eat well 6 days a week and then pig out on Saturdays. I’ve taken this advice to heart and love to pig out once a week. Today I wanted to write about junk food that I love to pig out on.
What’s my favorite junk food?
Editor’s Picks.
What’s better than some poutine? I’ve recently gotten into pulled pork poutine. A solid poutine will keep you full for the rest of the day.
Eric from Narrow Bridge Finance presents How To Pay Yourself First, and says, “Personal finance folks often throw around the term “pay yourself first.” It is a bit big-headed of us to assume you know how to do that. Here are some steps you can take to put the most popular finance advice to work.”
I always enjoy writing and reading about paying yourself first. You’ll never save money if you don’t get into the habit of saving your money before you blow it all. The best part of paying yourself first is that it requires no effort.
Robert from The College Investor presents The Ultimate Hypocrite: Robert Kiyosaki and His Company’s Bankruptcy, and says, “A story came across the news this weekend about Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and how his company went bankrupt last month. However minor you may consider it, I find it appalling as a personal finance writer. This guy made a living on selling “his story” and encouraging others to fork out tons of money to hear it. In the end, the story crumbles, and it just makes him a hypocrite.”
I really enjoyed this piece. I was always skeptical of Kiyosaki and then I found out that he had no wealth prior to the release of his book and that the “rich dad” never existed. I’m glad that I never attended any of his seminars.
Ray from Squirrelers presents Time is More Valuable Than Money, and says, “Money is of course very important. That said, we can often make more of it – but simply can’t make more time.”
Some great points are brought up in here. Money comes and goes. Time goes and never returns. How will you spend your time?
Money management.
Pepperoni pizza. The classic junk food. You can’t go wrong with a slice of pizza after a long day. I’ve also recently started to enjoy the meat-lovers pizza. Delicious!
Martin from Studenomics presents 3-Steps to Increase Your Net Worth, and says, “How you can build up $25k in savings!”
Jason Price from One Money Design presents 3 Traps that Will Rob You of Your Financial Peace, and says, “Avoid these three financial traps and you’ll help maintain your financial peace.”
TTMK from Tie the Money Knot presents Want to Save More Money? Make More Money!, and says, “We all know that it is important to save, as what we keep is vital to our financial future. But shouldn’t we make sure to remember that in order to save, we must be sure to make money in the first place?”
Jeff Rose from Good Financial Cents presents How To Manage Money As A Couple, and says, “One of the most important tools of a successful relationship with your spouse is: Communication.”
Miss T. from Prairie Eco Thrifter presents Who Needs a Budget? I’m Doing OK!, and says, “The thing is, not having a budget is rather like not having a map when you set out on a road trip. You know where you want to end up but don’t know exactly how to get there; you miss all the best sights and waste a lot of time and money.”
