Money Hacks Carnival #25 at The Personal Financier

The Money Hacks Carnival #25 was hosted at The Personal Financier. This one was dubbed “The Olympic Edition”. It focuses on the economic and financial aspects of the Olympics — a lot of interesting factoids. Here are Dorian’s favorite articles:

• Money Blue Book discusses in great detail the painful topic of How To Kill Roaches And Get Rid Of A Home Cockroach Infestation – I read through the post with one eye shut as the mere sight of them in the posts’ photos is too much for me. This post is very informative and deserves a place in the editor’s picks. I usually call a professional once a year and buy my peace and quiet.
• The Digerati Life examines Your Free Credit Score: (and asks) Is There Such A Thing? In this in-length and informative analysis The Digerati Life looks at the credit score and offers tips on getting your credit profile and credit scores.
• The Financial Blogger continues his discussion of the Basics of Estate Planning. This is a very important series of articles in which The Financial Blogger discusses, in length, the basics of estate planning. In this part he discusses how to assess if you have enough money to cover your last wishes. I recommend reading the entire series.
• Free Money Finance discusses The Best Way to Get a Raise – I agree with the point made wholeheartedly. I myself am practicing it though it does get a bit harder as you grow older.
• Save and Conquer discusses Sniping on eBay using auction snipers, a very interesting approach to eBay bidding. I’ve done some shopping on eBay (mostly stamps) and I would have welcomed a tool like this. The problem is that eBay acts much like an efficient market. With common knowledge of auction snipers their advantage disappears. When I bid on eBay I decide on the maximum price I’m willing to pay and let eBay do the work. I still believe this would work if you have the patience as many people don’t trust automatic bidding and enjoy the manual process.

Thank you Dorian for a very informative carnival. Next week carnival will be hosted at Our Fourpence Worth.
