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.

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."
