Thank you Anthoney for hosting this week’s Carnival of Debt Reduction over at Help My Cash Grow!

Anthoney Grigsby is going through his own debt reduction process and has almost knocked out half of his $18k in just about a year. That’s fantastic progress and another great example of successfully taming the debt monster.

Here are his picks for the week:

• Money Ning on how our thinking about money matters is way too complicated
• Picture of Wealth on defining debt-free
• Fabulously Broke in the City on how a high income doesn’t necessarily indicate financial smarts
• HarvestingDollars on not procrastinating on long-term goals
• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already… on using language as motivation

Please check out the carnival and congratulate Anthoney on his own progress!
