Money Hacks Carnival #3 at My Dollar Plan

The Money Hacks Carnival #3 was hosted at My Dollar Plan. Madison did a terrific job with the “what is a hack?” theme with 34 articles included. Here are her editor’s picks and comments:

• Cindy tells her daughter there are No More Excuses! 50 Free or Low Cost Budget Tools posted at Oh My Aching Debts. This is an incredible list including many options: online, Excel, paper, and downloads. I’m a proud user of at least one of these!
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Do You Really Know How Much It Costs To Own Your Car? posted at The Digerati Life. This is perfect timing since we are busy shopping for our new car. It’s often easy to forget about maintenance, insurance and opportunity cost when looking at the sticker price.
• mmhabits presents The Money Spectrum posted at Millionaire Money Habits. The spectrum is a great visual to determine where you fall and where you want to be.
• Aryn presents Manage Car Expenses with a Goodyear Card posted at Sound Money Matters. Credit cards sometimes get a bad wrap. Check out how to use one to your advantage to get discounts oil changes.
• RC presents Vending Machine Economics: The Convenience Factor posted at Think Your Way to Wealth. Find out the real cost of using the vending machine and see if it makes sense.
• Ted presents Where to Buy, Sell and Trade Textbooks posted at CampusGrotto. One thing I remember from college was the steep price of textbooks. Ted lists some great resources to get them cheaper and recoup some costs when you are finished with the books.

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job. Next week carnival will be hosted at The Amatureist Financial Journey.
