Money Hacks Carnival #12 at Can I Get Rich On A Salary

The Money Hacks Carnival #12 was hosted at Can I Get Rich On A Salary. This week carnival theme is “The Twelve Labours of Heracles” — cool! Here are this week editor’s picks:

• The Easy Way to Budget for Irregular Expenses Using A Separate Checking Account at Think Your Way to Wealth — A practical way of handling irregular expenses that come only once or twice a year. We do something similar.
• Mint.com Money Management Software Review at Moolanomy — Free is a favorite flavor… and it sounds like it works well! Plus, Pinyo always has great graphics and layout to illustrate his posts, and in this case, they are great for showing how the software works.
• Best Online Discount Brokers at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity — A great place to get started if you are looking for an online broker. Jim includes mentions of several magazine and other rankings, as well as adding his own thoughts about the brokers.
• Generic Drugs are Cheaper - A Complete Guide! at FIRE Finance — I heard on the radio the other day that some people were cutting back on their prescription medicines because of their fears about the economy!
• Ways To Keep Up With Personal Finance Blogs - RSS, Carnivals, And More at Free From Broke — A nice introduction for relative newcomers to personal-finance blogs or those unfamiliar with RSS and blog readers
• How to Bargain in a Slow Economy at Prime Time Money — My better half would like this article, as she never likes to pay full price! My one add-on tip, more for “big ticket” items: be prepared to walk away as part of your negotiating.

Great job and thank you for hosting the carnival. Next week carnival will be hosted at Moolanomy Personal Finance Blog.
