Three years!

This week, Flexo is hosting the third anniversary edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance. I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but here are some of the standout posts for me. But be sure to check it out for yourself!

• My Top 5 Personal Finance Blunders - We all make mistakes, and we can all learn something from the mistakes of others.
• My Personal Finance Tipping Point - I always enjoy Chief Family Officer's posts.
• Direct Sales - Good Way to Make Extra Money or Fast Way to Lose Friends? - While I can't speak to the earning money part, as I've never participated in direct sales, I can say that some of my friends selling things like Avon or Pampered Chef have driven me CRAZY. Others were perfectly lovely about it.
• Our Financial Progress Over the Last 10 Years - I wonder where I'll be in 10 years. Hopefully well on my way to retirement!
• $150K Got Me Nowhere - We can all learn something from this post. Best of luck to Dog Ate My Finances!
• Saving for Retirement vs. Living Your Life - I truly believe that you can't just live for tomorrow. You have to live for today AND plan for tomorrow.
• The Emergency Fund - Where Should I Keep It and Why? - Some good points when considering an emergency fund.
• A Refreshing New Idea - I like the idea of a sunny day fund. I have a "wishlist fund."
