Carnival of Money Stories Edition 84

Welcome to the Carnival of Money Stories Edition #84.

I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. Today was particularly a busy day for me at work so I’m a little late on posting the carnival so I apologize.  So there were a total of 46 article submissions this week and only 13 articles made it to this edition. Thats a little under 30% acceptance rate. I guess you can say I’m a little bit more selective than most hosts but all the articles listed here are good stories or experiences.

Enjoy.
