Thanks for compiling two carnivals! The first one was huuge and included a lot of great posts. I did my first balance transfer today … I could only get $4K since that was my credit limit. But the money goes straight into my BofA checking and then I’ll transfer it to HSBC.

Thanks for doing such a detailed job.

Mapgirl, it’s nice to know someone is interested in what I write.

I submitted the “Why I Walk to Work” article for the last Festival of Frugality…and I never submit the same article to two carnivals…so didn’t send it your way.

Btw, are you working non-stop or something?..yesterday it was a BIG carnival…today this alternative carnival, I am sure it’s taking a hell lot of time.

I’ve written about my experience with opening an HSBC account and my impressions as compared to ING.

[…] My original plans for the Carnival fell through. I was going to pull all the articles I liked and make a Carnival from it, hoping that submissions would overlap with my choices, and the non-editor’s picks would be added on as sideshows. However, there was absolutely no overlap in the articles that I liked and what people submitted. Therefore, I did a traditional carnival, divided into sections. The articles I picked, are an Alternative Carnival of Personal Finance #90, instead of titled the usual ‘Articles I Liked This Week.’ […]
