Is it me or did August only take a week to go by? Seriously! How is it back to school time already? I’ll miss you Summer…
Moving on… I’m back in the carnivals this week. Here are the ones I participated in:

Money Hacks Carnival #27 – Financial Dilemmas Edition hosted by PF Buzz. Booking A Hotel Through An Online Traval Site May Not Be Worth It was included.
Now for some favorites from around the web:

I wasn’t just you. August went by fast…very fast. And thank you for mentioning my carnival and article.
Hey! Thanks for including me!
I think that some companies have gone way beyond credit worthiness in how they are using the FICO score.
Thanks for the mention!
@Pinyo – Way, way, way too fast! My pleasure on the mention.
@Jeff – I can see that about the FICO score. What’s the solution though? More education on how the score should be used?
@ Single Guy – No prob!
End of August, end of my leiseure time
