Money Hacks Carnival #17 at Mrs Nespy’s Frugal World

The Money Hacks Carnival #17 was hosted at Mrs. Nespy’s Frugal World. This “Music of the ’80s” is very cool with memorable photos and lyrics. In this edition, Mrs. Nespy did a great job of including articles that were left off accidentally last week — thank you! And here are her editor’s picks and comments:

• Retirehappy presents Naming Beneficiaries on Retirement Plans posted at My Retirement Blog. Okay, so we don’t want to have to think about it, but this is information we all need to be on top of!
• Mike Leonard presents Passive income? Look at your passive expenses first posted at Until Debt Do Us Part. Great recommendation–look at your spending rather before trying to find out how to make more.
• J. Savings presents I’m back, and ready to spill the beans baby! posted at Budgets are Sexy. Great post. I love seeing testimonials on how resorts and vacation packages work. They can be very smart money-wise, but it helps to see the traps that others encountered! Congratulations, by the way!
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Save and Invest Enough For Your Retirement: Are You On Track? posted at The Digerati Life. Although it seems like a long way off for me, I know that I have to stay focused on my retirement in order to survive when it comes!
• Brian Chin presents Why Gas Price Increases Aren’t Really Affecting Your Finances posted at beechin financial consultant. Great perspective!
• Lisa Spinelli presents New Website Outs Companies With Poor Corporate Responsibility Records Greener Pastures: Personal Finance posted at Greener Pastures. I loved this post! It is wonderful that all of this information is gathered in one place, and I was so excited that Lisa pointed me to it! Thanks!

Thank you Mrs. Nespy for putting together a great carnival. Next week carnival will be hosted at My Investing Blog.
