Many thanks to Me vs Debt for hosting Carnival of Debt Reduction #118.  This week’s carnival has a winter solstice theme, complete with pictures of constellations that will be visible on the shortest day in the northern hemisphere.  Very clever!

Her “Ursula Major” editor’s picks were:

• Being Frugal’s Twelve Days of Christmas, Personal Finance Style
• Paid Twice’s Why the $1,000 Emergency Fund?
• No Credit Needed’s commentary on the mortgage mess
• Free Money Finance’s Help a Reader: 401(k) or debt

Next week the carnival will be right here.  In the meantime, have a great week and check out the carnival and the constellations!
