Pragmatic Finance

I participated in two carnivals this week. My advice to Start investing early with a Roth IRA is at this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance and my discussion on how to Save 5% at gas stations, grocery stores, and pharmacies is at the current Festival of Frugality.

If you aren’t familiar with Carnivals, they are blog posts that list some of the interesting articles recently about a particular topic. They are gathered from articles submitted to that week’s host. They are a great way of consolidating and presenting a list of posts in a specific area for readers. It can also expose new readers to many blogs that haven’t seen and may be interested in reading, including yours.
If you would like to participate in one you can send a post using either Blog Carnival of Conservative Cat. Here’s a list of some of the blogs that I am going to consider sending posts to whenever I have one that fits the category:

• Carnival of Personal Finance
• Carnival of Investing
• Festival of Frugality
• Carnival of Debt Reduction
• Carnival of Entrepreneurship
• Carnival of the Capitalists
• Carnival of Taxes
• Carnival of Business

If you have a blog and have written a good post that is about one of these topics I encourage you to submit it that week. Oh, and if you would like to host one, normally you are eligible once you have participated in that carnival once. I am going to be hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance on….March 19, 2007. It appears that one is very popular and hosting is booked quite a ways out
