Welcome to the festive link love carnivality #10 where I bring you my carnival/festival events for the week as well as great articles I found in my Google RSS reader.
To start, the carnivals:
Prime Time Money hosted the 140th Carnival of Debt Reduction Circus Day Edition. My article Don’t Let Credit Card Debt Weigh You Down was an editor’s pick!
Money and Values hosted the 153rd Carnival of Personal Finance – the Q & A Edition which included Where Is Your Focus?
Moolanomy hosted the 13th Money Hacks Carnival – Money Saving Hacks Edition. You can find my article Our Economic Stimulus Check Arrived.
I want to mention a couple of new things that have come out recently in the blogoshpere:
The first is A World Of Personal Finance Bloggers created by Prime Time Money. 
Here you can find where all of your favorite personal finance bloggers are located in the world (you can find Free From Broke in that little section of the US known as New York).
The second is Personal Finance Buzz (or PF Buzz for short). This is a site that’s similar to Digg but only focuses on PF articles. Posts are recommended and then are voted up or down. There are a lot of great articles up there already so go check it out.
