Carnival of Personal Finance #154

Good day all and welcome to Canadian Dream: Free at 45. My name is Tim and I’ll be your host today. In honour of my second son being born early this month I’m basing the theme of this carnival on the classic poem: Monday’s Child.

Monday’s child is fair of face (or at least wrote a great post which caught this editor’s eye).

Tuesday’s child is full of grace (perhaps owing to the fact they learned their money management and savings skills well).

Wednesday’s child is full of woe (potentially because they didn’t use their credit wisely and now have some debt).

Thursday’s child has far to go (but so does everyone who is investing for the long term).

Friday’s child is loving and giving (at least by providing a review or teaching about being frugal).

Saturday’s child works hard for a living (by looking into the economy or real estate)

But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay (well with that many descriptors I think I can safely call this the misc posts section)

So that this the Carnival. Make sure to check out the main site for who is hosting next week.

PS: Sorry for the delay getting this published, but I had some sever issues this morning.
