The Wealth Builder Carnival #98

Welcome to the ninety-eighth 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


Arnel Ariate presents Domain Flipping - Flip it Like You Mean it - Money SoldiersMoney Soldiers posted at Money Soldiers, saying, "Is domain flipping a viable business? I mentioned two success stories of domain flipping and tried to answer whether domain flipping can be a viable business or not."

Super Saver presents Part Time is the New Job Reality posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, "While I view part time work as a optional benefit of being retired, it appears that employers are using part time employment as a strategy to reduce operating costs and health care costs."


Investing


Dividends4Life presents 3 Stocks Yielding More than 5% That Recently Raised their Dividends posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "Astute investors understand the power of growing dividends. Over time, a low yielding stock will increase its payout (along with its yield-on-cost) and normally the share price follows the growing dividend. But what if you need income today? High-yield investments sometimes sacrifice growth, but not always..."

Alex Peters presents Does the S&P Has a Seasonal Pattern? posted at TradingAcademy.com, saying, "Is there a seasonal cycle in the stock market and should you invest on those patterns?"

John Schmoll presents What Earnings Season and the iPad Mini Have in Common posted at Frugal Rules, saying, "Most publicly traded companies announce their earnings four times a year, which is known as Earnings Season. If you know what to look for it can provide a wealth of information the health and direction of the company."


Living Frugally


Charles presents Second Mortgages posted at Wallet Hub, saying, "Whatever your reason is, before you start getting too serious about a second mortgage, it’s important to understand exactly what one is as well as how it differs from other home-equity-based financial products. It's not as simple as you may think, and protecting yourself with knowledge is the best first step."


Saving


Michael presents A Brief History of (My) Online Banking posted at FinancialRamblings.com, saying, "This post provides a brief history of online banking through the lens of my personal experiences over the years."


Taxes


David de Souza presents What You Need To Know About the 2012 Tax Deadline posted at TaxFix Feed Update, saying, "If you have any assets or income in the UK, the deadline for the paper based tax returns is fast approaching. This article tells you what you need to know about the deadline."

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Have tried three online banks. So far, it appears Ally is best, as you can always reach them 24-7 and they are genuinely helpful
