On Monday, No Credit Needed will be hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance, 94th edition. NCN is working hard to make this a great Carnival, so help him out by submitting your best article from the week before the 6:00 PM Eastern Time deadline.
Carnival of Personal Finance #93
The latest edition of the Carnival has been published at Tired but happy. Here are the articles the host is featuring as Editor’s Choice:
- Living Almost Large: A New Retirement Plan
- Broke Now, Rich Later: You Don’t Need an Emergency Fund
- Frugal Zeitgeist: Early Payoff: The Great Mortgage Debate
- My Open Wallet: Rule 16: Who Do You Think You are?

Many of the articles are interesting, as well. I think the quality of the Carnival continues to increase week after week.
Next Monday’s Carnival of Personal Finance will be hosted at No Credit Needed.

The deadline is approaching for participation in the Carnival of Personal Finance, 93rd edition. The best of the personal finance blogosphere will be represented Monday morning on Tired but happy. If you’re interested in participating, remember to submit your best article of the week before Sunday evening.
Schedule for April Through June 2007
Thanks to everyone who volunteered to host the Carnival of Personal Finance! We had many more applications than there were open slots, as some bloggers signed up last year before we started scheduling only three months at a time. Those who were interested but not selected will be considered alternates in case anyone backs out. We’ll start looking for hosts for July through September in early June.

Now Taking Requests for Future Hosts
The Carnival of Personal Finance is now taking requests for hosts in the second quarter (April, May and June) of 2007. Hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance is a great way to build traffic, be involved with the community, and showcase your creativity.
Before you take the plunge and request to host, make sure you read and understand the requirements of hosting. Please realize that hosting the Carnival can be a lot of work. There are often between 50 and 80 submissions that must be read. The host must at the least choose several as “Editor’s Choice” and provide quick commentary or summaries.
Please apply for hosting here.
Thanks Again!
As you know, participants in the Carnival of Personal Finance are required to link back to the Carnival once it is posted. Thanks to everyone who linked back quickly, including Getting Green, InsureBlog, Plonkee Money, Living Almost Large, KirkWalsh.com, Blunt Money, and My Two Dollars.
I want to draw attention to the the way the Carnival was announced at My Two Dollars. He has the right idea; along with the link to the Carnival, it’s great to mention some of your favorite submissions, rather than just mentioning your own included article.
The purpose of the Carnival aside from sending traffic in different directions is to acknowledge the community of personal finance bloggers. Give some link love.
Thank you to everyone who participated this past week and especially to those who linked back to the Carnival.
