Welcome to Carnival of Debt Reduction #114
Posted on November 20th, 2007 by mbhunter
Good evening! Looks like I’m pinch-hitting for DebtFREE-Revolution this week; she’s feeling really lousy and just got on to tell me that she can stay up for a couple of hours at a time before she collapses. So you might want to drop by her blog and give her some virtual herbal tea or something. 
In any case I’ve needed to get this carnival together on a time budget, so the carnival this week is to the point.
Here are a few shout-outs and the Editor’s Picks for this week:
- Single Guy Money has paid off all of his credit card debt! Congratulations! These stories are great to hear!

- Saving Advice tells how to pay off your student loans and build your wealth.

Well, I think that if you’re in serious debt, you should get in touch with a company which provides expert debt advice on various solutions to become debt free, and which doesn’t take any money for it, like a not for profit organization.

Loan that combines and refinances other loans or debt. It is normally an installment loan designed to reduce the dollar amount of an individual’s monthly payments.
This is my entire savings so I don’t want to risk it all but I would like to get a little more than… the most you can. The money grows tax free, and some companies will match your contribution
