The Carnival of Debt Reduction: It’s A Marathon, Not A Sprint Edition! is up over at Man vs. Debt, and they've added a link to my post about being (mostly) short-term debt free.

Take a look at the carnival and some of the great posts about fighting debt.

The Jan. 6 edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction has been posted over at American Consumer News and it includes my post on the catharsis of paying of large swaths of debt.

A few other posts you might enjoy reading include:

My post about changing the banking system hit a good tastebud in the mouth of Moolanomy, who is hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance #127 - Wonders of the World.

Happy to announce that my story of How petty greed translates to more fees was added to the Carnival of Money Stories #32, hosted by The Baglady. There are some other good lessons to be learned from the stories in this week's carnival, so if you haven't read through it already, check it out.

My post about Assessing whether you should contribute to a political campaign was added to the 123rd Carnival of Personal Finance, hosted this week by The Dough Roller. Take a look at some of the other great posts that were included in the issue.
