100th Edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction

Welcome to the 100th Edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction. It’s my privilege to host this week’s carnival!

Here’s how a blog carnival works:

1. Bloggers submit articles about a specific topic. (In this case: Debt Reduction)

2. A host blog (In this case: No Credit Needed) compiles those articles and presents them in list-form, linking back to the original article.

3. Bloggers who submitted articles are encouraged to link-back to the host blog and to link-to each other’s articles.

So, without further ado, let’s get to this week’s submissions:

Indebted 2 You is making plans. In this post, 18 Months To Debt Free Living!, Indebted sets out the plan for progress. I love it!

Free Money Finance (which is a mandatory-daily-read) has an excellent post about why you need to Forget Biweekly Mortgage Payment Plans. (Just send in an extra payment! You need not sign up for some silly program.) Again, FMF totally rocks!

My Two Dollars is writing a series of posts about digging out of credit card debt. Instead of linking to just one post in the series, I’m simply going to link to all four posts. Why? They’re just that good! Digging Out 1, Digging Out 2, Digging Out 3, Digging Out 4.

Ask Mr. Credit Card with a post about Balance Transfer Deception. Frankly, I’m shocked that any credit card company would try to deceive its customers! (Sarcasm… so difficult to type…)
