HELOC + ESPP (or 0% Credit Cards) = FREE MONEY (15% to 60%+ returns)!

This was a really big holiday carnival and there's so many good posts to read. Here's some of my favorites:

Spend Less Than You Earn - The Wrong Way To Think @ Brip Blap: Instead of thinking about “spending less than you earn” to make it, why not think about “earning more than you spend?” An interesting perspective that may have you opening up your limits on what you can earn and think of the many endless possibilities!

2007 PF Blogger Net Worth Comparison @ Million Dollar Journey: With personal finance bloggers writing about finance so much, do you ever wonder how much they’re really worth? Here’s your chance to find out what kind of net worth some of us have! OK, this is just car-crash interesting to look at published net worths of some of your favorite PF Bloggers :-)!

Our Credit Limits: Over $1,000,000! @ My Dollar Plan: Madison covers her credit with great detail, slicing and dicing and taking note of her household’s credit accounts and limits. I'm going to keep an eye out for Madison's upcoming posts. This is one person that know's how to manage credit! I'm looking forward to many of the future posts, based on her many comments on this post, to describe the methods she uses to manage the multitude of credit accounts.

I Will Teach You How To Become A Millionaire @ Worldwide Success: Here’s a list of ways to become a millionaire, prioritized according to likelihood of occurrence (from least to most likely). The 10-10-30 formula is one everyone should be employing, then look at all the other 'gravy' ideas Worldwide Success shows for building your million. Don't forget that 'mortgage' for your home can take you pretty close to becoming a millionaire too!!!

Ding Dong - Did Someone Order Groceries? @ The MotherLoad: Grocery deliveries have become very popular as people have become more & more busy. This post offers some tips for shopping at grocery delivery websites as well as a helpful listing of these sites. I'm a real proponent of online groceries. I've often use it to stock up on all those heavy items for parties and such (bottled water, soft drinks, etc.) and have them delivered to the door for an incredibly reasonable fee (often only $10).

15 Money Pitfalls To Avoid @ Millionaire Money Habits: Here’s where you can read about 15 common money pitfalls to avoid becoming another case study. This is a really great collection of common money pitfalls. I encourage everyone to check it out and see if there's any new positive money habits you can build in 2009.

Comparison: Major Presidential Candidates on Monetary Policy and the USD @ Currency Trading: In this presidential race, monetary policy is a hot issue. Many Americans are fed up with government excess, a failing health care system, and faltering personal wealth. This post covers how some of the major presidential candidates stack up on these issues and more.

  • Why We Shouldn’t Be Careless With Automatic Bill Pay and Why The Pentagon Should Really Use FedEx For Shipping by MoneyNing
    I liked this post, because it served as a reminder of one of those pesky things that I keep on my mental to do list, but never really get to regularly enough!  Stop by and check this one out.  Make sure you're not making someone rich, by being too trusting and lazy.
  • eight ideas for saving money on books by plonkee money
    Another great post to save some money on something that 'really' adds up, books!  Like plonkee, I find myself reading the covers and a couple of pages, and then grab this book and that book.  Then when I get home with them, I'm not always satisfied.  This is a great reminder for me to take a little more time browsing at the bookstore (they really encourage it with all the comfy couches and chairs).  Also, get my library card going again.  I haven't visited my library in the last 3 years, that's not good.
  • Baby Steps to Wealth: My $2 a Day Challenge by Frugal Duchess
    I always love reading about how folks incorporate baby step approach to all areas of self improvement.  This is another great example.

OK, I think I'm sticking to 1 carnival a week from now on.  This is a lot of reading, I'm enjoying it.  I just need some recovery time to process all these great ideas that I have rolling around in my head after the reading fest.  I encourage you to stop by the carnival sites and read through and find some new favorite posts of your own.

101st Carnival of Debt Reduction
This weeks 101st Carnival of Debt Reduction is hosted at I've Paid For This Twice Already... Paidtwice reviewed 25 posts submitted and I'm very excited that Paidtwice picked Teaspoon Finance's post as their favorite!

My favorite article this week was from Teaspoon, with Do You Have an Emergency Fund? - If Cash is King, Then Don’t Neglect His Good Looking Brother, the Prince of Credit! posted at Teaspoon Finance . Honestly, I loved this article, despite the fact that I don’t agree with the whole basic concept presented in it. It is a well-written, very well-thought out discussion and drew me in despite the fact that it is contrary to my opinion. Enjoy!

I've reviewed many of the posts at Paidtwice and I'm sure you're going to find some great info and new insights into personal finance in one or more of the 25 posts. I had fun going through the posts at Paidtwice. I actually read every one of these carnival posts! Here's my selection of 3 favorites that I enjoyed most:

  • glblguy with Key Steps You Can Take Now To Get Out of Debt posted at Gather Little By Little
    OK, I love posts that have tidbits of wonderful wisdom that I may or may not have heard before and intended to implement, but haven't. They're like little reminders to say "Um, you know I'm right, now when are you gonna put me to work?". This post has a great little tactic that I've read about before and loved, fully intended on implementing, but never have. I'm losing money every day by not even trying! Please don't let this happen to you. Get over there and read this post. Oh, what's the wonderful little tidbit? It's listed as #3. Reduce your interest rate. Now go learn and become enlightened by this and more :-p...
  • David at My Two Dollars brings the next installment of his excellent “Get out of Credit Card Debt” Series, The Start Digging Out Of Credit Card Debt Challenge - Week Five.
    David also gets my attention as a favorite for a couple of reasons. First, same as above, he touches on that little tip of reducing your interest rates in this week five of the series. The other thing I like is that this is part 5 in a series of great info and several steps to help reduce credit card debt. I'll be keeping an eye out for future installments. I love info in bite sized chunks and David puts that together in this series. From this week five post, you'll find his links to previous weeks. I definitely encourage you to start reading from week one, read them all and look to see what items you want to start taking a bite and chewing on for yourself or a loved one! Definitely read week two for a scripted example of asking for rate reductions. Any system is great, as long as you pick a system or process and go with it. I love David's methods, even though in this latest mortgage meltdown I like approaching from a different angle (i.e. reducing debt in a little more costly method to save big on refi's, as it has maximum short term impact on FICO scores, for those that need to do a refi soon). No matter what, go out and lower your rates, I hope to this month!
  • FMF presents Your Bad Credit Could Cost You $1 Million posted at Free Money Finance
    Love this post! Check it out and learn the importance of keeping your credit healthy. I've never quite seen it in this perspective. I really love this whole concept of monetizing opportunity costs of bad credit.

Wow, that was some fun reading! I think there's one or two more carnival's to go and I'm out of energy for now. I'll have to get with them much later today. I encourage you to stop by the carnival sites and read through and find some new favorite posts of your own.

I'll be following up with additional Carnivals that Teaspoon Finance was a part of with my post: Do You Have an Emergency Fund? - If Cash is King, Then Don't Neglect His Good Looking Brother, the Prince of Credit!

  • 110 Personal Finance Calculators (@ millionaire mommy next door)
    Now this was an amazing piece of effort by the millionaire mommy to put together this amazing resource list of calculators. I plan to have fun browsing these calcs over the coming weeks and I'm sure they're going to give me lots of wonderful ideas :- ). I'm sure you'll find at least one, if not several here that are of immediate interest!
  • How To Know Instantly You’re Being Conned (@ dough roller)
    I've been watching Mind Control with Derren Brown on the SciFi Channel recently and that dude can have your mind reeling! So, previously to that show, I figured, 'Hey, I probably can't be conned. I'm a very logical street wise Joe'. But, after this show, geeze, there's just may be a whole new level of con men out there. I enjoyed dough roller's post and it has some great advice on thinking about those 'too good to be true situations'. Definitely check this out. If you don't think you can be conned, go check out an episode of Mind Control on SciFi channel and you'll be back at dough roller's site double checking ;-)!

Wow, that was a lot of reading! I couldn't read all 60+ articles, but definitely viewed all post titles and read through each post that caught my eye. I encourage you to stop by the carnival site and read through and find some new favorite posts of your own.
