Get out the Vote with this Week’s Carnival of Personal Finance

This week’s Carnival of Personal Finance, hosted by Millionaire Mommy Next Door, is a reaffirmation of Democracy. Millionaire Mommy has called for a vote of the readers among various categories, including real estate where Mike’s article, How to Succeed in Investing by Doing Everything “Wrong”, was featured. We urge everyone to vote now (and, if you’re in Chicago, vote often).

While we feel confident in Mike’s chances based on the article’s content, we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight that Mike is running under the political party, Dempublican Greenertarian Reformunists. The party platform is strongly supportive of all things that you favor and has an underlying philosophy of collective individualism. Mike’s opponents stand in sharp contrast, supporting measures such as taking your stuff (Mike believes your stuff is yours), slashing your tires (Mike won’t slash your tires), and puppy-kicking (Mike likes puppies).

But in the spirit of bipartisanism, we wanted to point out a few articles from the CoPF that we enjoyed. Despite the authors’ political affiliations, we were assured that no puppies were harmed in the making of these articles.

Brip Blap puts an end to the question of whether the Matrix was a indeed primarily about personal financial planning in his article follow the white rabbit to financial freedom. An astute analysis, but I defy him to explain the second and third in the series.

Grad Money Matters writes about the sneaky banks taking your money in Bank “upgraded” The Account and Started Charging Fees without Authorization!. I’ll wager a version of this bank theft has happened to nearly everyone.

Free Money Finance notes the path to riches may be paved with some dirty jobs in Get Rich by Doing Something No One Else Wantes to Do. It’s followed by a pretty lively discussion.
