Welcome to PFI and the weekly updates – The Blog Carnival Edition. Well it was a very busy week as I hosted my first and second blog carnivals ever! One of my personal finance goals for 2009 was to host at least two carnivals.
I had originally signed up to host the 66th Edition of the Money Hacks Carnival several weeks ago. This carnival post went live this past Wednesday with over 50 posts included. I must say that it was a little time consuming reading through all of the great posts and putting it all together. Despite all the time, it was well worth it.
I was also asked to host the 9th Edition of the Carnival of Pecuniary Delights earlier this week to fill in for the scheduled host who could not do it. I was skeptical at first with my time being devoted to the Money Hacks Carnival. I was very pleased with the ease of this carnival and am a big fan of it. It is setup a little different than most other carnivals as you can submit posts that are years old. They just need to be long lasting and relate to personal finance or frugal living.
