Welcome to the 26th edition of the Best of Money Carnival!

This was my first-ever hosting experience, and I was blown away by all of the quality submissions.  It was extremely tough whittling the list down to just 10; I could have easily picked twice that number.  In the process of reading through the submissions, I’ve found a few more blogs that I will subscribe to.  Here are the top ten selections from a field of more than 40, listed in descending order:

10. J.D. at Get Rich Slowly gets back to the basics and tells us why Slow and Steady Wins the Race.

9. Danny at Free Money Finance lists the Steps To Grow Your Net Worth When You Don’t Make A Six Figure Income.

8. Emily at Prosper and Be in Health shows us How to Make a Budget That Works.  I’m big on budgeting, and this post hits all of the major points on the subject.

7. J. Money at Budgets Are Sexy looks at his expenses and starts Breaking Down The Budget by Percentages.  He compares his spending with the recommendations of  Jean Chatzky.

6. Craig at ChristianPF teaches us the ABCs of Personal Finance: 26 Elementary Money Lessons.  A very creative way of getting the point across.

5. Finavigation shows us that it takes more than money to be rich with The Right Mindset for Financial Success.  Gotta get your mind right!

4. Paul at Provident Planning explains why A Penny Saved Is Nearly Two Pennies Earned.  Paul runs through the tax ramifications for both the employed and self-employed.

3. Just in time for the big day, Peter at Bible Money Matters offers Black Friday Shopping Tips: How To Get The Best Deals On The Things On Your List.  The secret: Have a plan before you shop!

2. A close second, Wyojeff at Sustainable Life Blog fesses up with The High Cost of Being a Moron.  I just love that title!  A great story that proves that even finance bloggers are human.

and the winner is…

1. Baker at Man vs. Debt blew me away with his post entitled The X-Men Guide To Unlocking Your Financial Mutant Powers.  Baker’s creativity is what sets this one apart from the rest of the week’s submissions.  Nice job, Baker!

I really enjoyed reading all of the submissions.  Thanks to Free Money Finance for giving me the hosting opportunity.  Tune in next Monday as Me in Millions host the next edition of the Best of Money Carnival.  You can submit your blog post for consideration by using the carnival submission form.

• Barbaric Links, New "About" Page Edition Passive Family Income had this recent post about the types of posts he hates to write.  His dilemma was similar to mine, as I struggle with writing about really personal things.  Like my About page.  I commented that I thought mine was pretty generic, and that I would probably go......

• Seven Things I Think I Think (and Personal Finance Links) I'm going to blatantly steal Peter King's shtick today. The difference is that I make no bones about thinking at least 30% less often than him, so you only get 7 things - not 10 things. I think that, speaking of Peter King, I'll be very happy when the World......
