The Wealth Builder Carnival #132

Welcome to the one hundred thirty-second 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

Elizabeth Atwood presents 10 Sites To Make Money Online posted at rockabyeparents.com, saying, "A look at 10 legit sites that will help you make a little extra money online."

Insuring and Protecting

Super Saver presents Careful Not to Create E-mail Contracts posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, "I was surprised to learn that an e-mail exchange can become a binding contract under certain conditions."

Investing

Dividends4Life presents 6 CEO's Showing Confidence With Increased Dividends posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "A person’s character is determined by how they behave when no one else is looking and during difficult times. In much the same way, we can learn a lot about a company’s management when they face adversity. One metric I look at closely during a downturn is cash generation relative to earnings. The ability of a company to grow its dividend throughout the economic cycle is highly dependent on the management’s ability to generate cash in a downturn..."

Jason Hull presents Why Monkey Brain Loves Financial “Secrets” posted at Hull Financial Planning, saying, "Whenever a "guru" promises to share a financial "secret" with us, our limbic systems perk up. Why do we think that common sense is a "secret" and how can we keep from falling for this ploy?"

kurt@mymoneycounselor.com presents Wall Street Breaks Record posted at Money Counselor, saying, "Record margin debt on Wall Street means when stocks fall, they're going to fall hard and fast."

Living Frugally

John Schmoll presents Would You Wipe Your Butt with a Used Napkin? - Frugal Rules posted at Frugal Rules, saying, "Many people like to be frugal and save money and I count myself as one of them. However, there is a fine line between being frugal and being downright crazy, such as some of the people showcased on Extreme Cheapskates that use used napkins for their doody as opposed to buying TP."
