Carnival of Personal Finance #110

July 25, 2007

Thanks for visiting! If you like what you're reading, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

I once again submitted an article to the Personal Finance Carnival (this time hosted at Fatpitchfinancials) and was lucky enough to be published again. I submitted my article on budgeting which also appeared as a guest post at Wellheeled.

I realise this overview is long overdue but the first couple of weeks of work plus the fact that there is so much to see and do in New York City didn’t really leave much time for blogging - at least not if I also wanted to get some sleep… ;-)

In any case, here are my personal favourites of this carnival:

  • A perfect supplement to my own article, Advanced Personal Finance examines 10 ways to save money in your budget.
  • Do you know the richest man on earth? Warren Buffet comes to mind, but Carlos Slim is the man we’re really after. He calls a stunning 67.8 billion dollars his own and his companies account for nearly half of the Mexican stock exchange’s value. Read more here.
  • PowerWealth examines what Shakespeare knew about personal finance and asks whether you consume, save, invest or speculate.
  • You are a personal finance junkie if you find yourself nodding along while reading My Wealth Builder’s article. And if you’re not a finance junkie yet, I strongly suggest you become one… ;-)

After reading the article on Carlos Slim I kept wondering who the richest woman on earth is. Does anyone know? Otherwise I will certainly find out for you!

I believe that Liliane Bettencourt (daughter of L’Oréal founder Eugene Schueller) and owner of the L’Oreal Grioup is worth $20.7 billion!!

I don’t think there is a richer lady than her!!

Thanks marts. I haven't found anyone else but her either...

Thanks marts. I haven’t found anyone else but her either… just a bit annoying that she simply inherited that fortune rather than earned it herself… ;-)

..well that seems to be the way of it these

..well that seems to be the way of it these days doesn’t it? Everyone would rather be given money rather than use hard work to get it!

I disagree. I'd rather spend my own money than someone

I disagree. I’d rather spend my own money than someone else’s!
