Thank you all for participating in the inaugural edition of The Carnival of Thoughtful Consideration! There are some wonderful submissions, and I look forward to learning from you through your posts.

Within each category I’ve listed the submissions in order based on which arrived first. Enjoy!

First the financial-related submissions:

Budgets and Saving

Education

• Wenchypoo presents This Thing Called Hunger Part III: Personal Abdication posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket saying, “Re: your money and those who intend to bilk you out of it through tear-jerking, heart-rending motives.” (Wenchypoo – I had a really tough time trying to determine the best category for your post, so I settled on this one!)

Jobs, Employment, and Income

• David E. presents Immigrants taking jobs? Jobs are going overseas posted at Worldwide Success saying “Penny-wise, pound-foolish. This expression seems to describe well the discussion about American jobs. While there is an ongoing debate about immigrants taking low-paying jobs that most Americans don’t want to do, a large number of high-paying jobs are going to India and other countries because companies can’t find enough people with the right knowledge, skills and education to perform these jobs in the US. A college education is becoming more inaccessible to the average American each day, but this crisis is mostly being ignored.”
• Charles H. Green presents Trust Tip 41: Multiply Transactions by Ten posted at Trust Matters saying, “If a business problem seems insoluble, perhaps the problem is that you are thinking in terms of now, and not the future; and that you are thinking in terms of transactions rather than relationships.”
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Work Place Drama Ends In Mo Money posted at The Digerati Life.
• Randy Yniguez presents On Passive Income posted at Mangrove Root Gang.
• Laura Young presents Top 10 Things I Had to Learn on the Road to Full-Time Self-Employment posted at Dragon Slayer’s Guide to Life saying, “Considering self-employment or strengthening your own business in the coming year? Here are some tips to make the road easier.”

Net Worth

Personal Finance

• Big Cajun Man presents Flashback: Don’t Pass it to the Other Team! posted at Canadian Financial Stuff saying “A bad analogy for finance or a good one for basketball, but do the obvious things when it comes to your personal finances.”

• Nina presents Money as a Second Language posted at Queercents saying, “When you’re dating someone, how do learn about each other’s philosophy with personal finances? Most people learn these things as time passes but what if you could ask your prospective mate 20 questions about money… wouldn’t this help cut to the chase?”

Retirement

• makingourway presents Dealing with employer 401k contribution limitations posted at makingourway saying “This is an examination of a challenging situation: my employer has 401k contribution limitations that will prevent me from maxing out my 2006 contribution. I have identified an alternative approach to contribute the annual maximum.”
