The Wealth Builder Carnival #120

Welcome to the one hundred twentieth 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 6 No-Cost Ways to Cross-Promote Your Startup posted at Tech Cocktail, saying, "Cross-promotion can be a great way to promote your start-up for free or at a low cost. Here are some ways you can advertise your business with the right partner."

Insuring and Protecting

Super Saver presents Why I Always Buy Title Insurance posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, "Title insurance is an inexpensive way to get peace mind."

Investing

Jamie presents Calculating ROI, IRR and Cash on Cash Returns posted at www.jamiesmoneyadvice.com Blog Feed, saying, "A great article on calculating various types of returns."

Dividends4Life presents 7 Dividend Stocks Building Future Yield posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "Driven by computers that cost more than the average person will earn in their lifetime the investment markets move at light speed. To keep pace hedge funds, mutual funds, institutional investors and multi-billion dollar money managers spend large sums of money on high-tech tools to give them an edge. So, what chance does a small individual investor have? Not much of a chance if you let the Wall Street players define the rules..."

Living Frugally

Bryan presents How To Trade In A Car posted at Gajizmo, saying, "Summer marks one of the most popular times of the year for Americans to buy new cars. If you are thinking about trading in your current car for a new one soon, it will do you some good to read this article and learn some of the strategies for getting the highest value out of your trade-in."

Retiring

Jason Hull presents Is 4% the Correct Safe Withdrawal Rate at Retirement? posted at Hull Financial Planning, saying, "Ever since William Bengen's seminal SAFEMAX study, the financial planning industry has touted the 4% safe withdrawal rate as a rule set in stone. Is it the right number?"

Taxes

John Schmoll presents How Should You Spend Your Tax Return? posted at Frugal Rules, saying, "The average tax return is nearly $3,000. Receiving that sum of money all at once can lead to easy temptation. Make sure you make wise decisions with that money, whether it be paying off debt or investing for the future so you can make the money work for you."
