The Wealth Builder Carnival #84

Welcome to the eighty-fourth edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival. The purpose of this carnival is to collect articles from the blogosphere on building, preserving and keeping enough wealth for a comfortable retirement. For reference, I have tried to keep the carnival content tightly focused on wealth building and did not include submissions that were off topic. For reading convenience, the posts are listed with a brief summary or comment by the submitter and organized into seven categories: Earning, Insuring and Protecting, Investing, Living Frugally, Retiring, Saving and Taxes.

And now on to the Carnival.

Earning

Theresa Torres presents Finding Clients For Your New Virtual Assistant Business posted at Legitimate Home Business Ideas Blog, saying, "Finding clients for your virtual assistant business isn't as hard as you think. Follow these steps and you'll soon be on your way to getting your first clients."

Insuring and Protecting

John presents Should Small Business Owners be Worried About Their Money in December 2012? posted at Wallet Blog, saying, "Will small business bank accounts still be Federally insured at the end of the year? What could it mean for the local banking industry if the extension is not passed? Is it best for small business owners to transfer funds to larger banks or is that a misconception?"

Diana Lesley presents What You Need for Traveling To Canada posted at Travel Insurance Reviews, saying, "You might forget that traveling to Canada is just as international as traveling to Europe or elsewhere outside the US.

Investing

Dividends4Life presents June 2012 Pocket Change Portfolio Performance posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "The Pocket Change Portfolio (PCP) was first introduced on September 13, 2008 as a real money dividend income portfolio funded by the "pocket change" earned from my various online endeavors. Each month I report on the portfolio's progress and dividends earned."

Carlos Sera presents An Alto Mar Tale posted at Financial Tales, saying, "As I have said countless times, Modern Portfolio Theory and standard deviation treat risk as though a person would be equally happy going from poverty to wealth as from wealth to poverty."
