Rich Life Carnival #18
Welcome to the the 18th edition of rich life carnival. I have received a record 57 submissions this week. I had the feeling the carnival would bounce back nicely after last week. Just as I thought, the reduction in the number of submissions was indeed related to the problems over at blogcarnival.com. One more thing I’m happy about, the Self-Improvement section looks like it might be giving the Personal Finance section a run for its money. I always tell people I know that a rich life is about a lot more than money, although money DOES play an important part…
Let’s move on to this week’s submissions!
