The Wealth Builder Carnival #125

Welcome to the one hundred twenty-fifth 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

Bryan presents Best Ways To Make Money From Home posted at Gajizmo, saying, "Saving money and living below your means is fundamental to financial independence, but more importantly, families need to find ways to grow their income. Whether it is building a business or starting a venture from home, this article can help you get started by giving examples of the best ways to make money from home or online."

Insuring and Protecting

R.J. Weiss presents How do I complete a home inventory? posted at The Insurance Protection Blog, saying, "Three simple ways to complete a home inventory"

Investing

Dividends4Life presents 4 Big-Name Stocks With Double-Digit Dividend Increases posted at Dividend Growth Stocks, saying, "To succeed as a dividend growth investor you must identify and purchase stocks with sustainable dividend growth. Inertia is powerful force. Once a company has established a track record of growing its dividend over the decades and developed a shareholder base that expects higher dividends each year, it becomes increasing difficult for management to cut or fail to raise their dividend. No CEO of this type of company wants a dividend cut to occur on his or her watch..."

Living Frugally

Mr.CBB presents Junk To Funk: Some Woman Down The Road Left Me With Hardwood posted at Canadian Budget Binder, saying, "It’s not everyday I come across a money maker in the streets for free but when I do see it I jump on it. Often a simple DIY project can yield you savings in your budget or profits to your bank account if you can sell it. Watch me turn junk into funk and save!"

Retiring

Super Saver presents Early Retirement Readiness Checklist posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, "Here's a checklist to consider when evaluating whether to take early retirement."

Saving

Jason Hull presents Why You Shouldn't Obsess Over Your Net Worth posted at Hull Financial Planning, saying, "The financial planning industry likes to focus on a target number - your net worth. It's the wrong metric. Here's why."
