Welcome to the June 17, 2009 edition of the carnival of net worth.  Though AT&T has absolutely nothing to do with the carnival this week, I thought it important to mention their supreme suckiness in the title.  My biggest complaint?  The iPhone 3.0 update came out, with the long awaiting MMS capability baked right in.  The problem?  AT&T doesn’t support iPhone MMS until “late summer”, which roughly translates to “whenever the hell they feel like it.”

Ok enough blathering about my intense hatred of AT&T.  On to this weeks carnival.  Lots of submissions, but just a few related to net worth guys.  On topic, c’mon!  Enjoy the submissions below, and be sure to submit your entries for next week’s edition.

Welcome to the May 20, 2009 edition of the carnival of net worth – number 17 in a long series of highly irregular carnivals.  I’d normally make some promise to stick to the weekly schedule like I’m supposed to, but why lie?  Anyway, here are this editions entries that relate to growing your net worth: 

My favorite entries:

Michael Haltman presents The Annual Report From The Oracle Of Omaha posted at The Political and Financial Markets Commentator, saying, “By year end, investors of all stripes were bloodied and confused, much as if they were small birds that had strayed into a badminton game. As the year progressed, a series of life-threatening problems within many of the world’s great financial institutions was unveiled.

The watchword throughout the country became the creed I saw on restaurant walls when I was young: “In God we trust; all others pay cash.””

nickel presents Alternatives to High Yield Savings Accounts posted at fivecentnickel.com.

Shaun Connell presents 7 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying a Car posted at Financial Planning, saying, “You’re spending several thousand dollars of your hard-earned money, so you can’t take the decision lightly.

kathryn presents You Can Afford to Be Generous posted at Out of Debt Christian, saying, “This morning I decided to swing through the Dunkin Donuts drive thru to pick up a coffee and a bagel. As I pulled up to the window to pay for my breakfast the cashier told me, “The lady in front of you already paid for your order.

JD presents The Global Debt Disease & How It Affects You posted at debthelpcreditrepairpro.com, saying, “The world, Americans included, is suffering from a serious disease – the disease of excessive debt. The problem has been an availability of very cheap credit in recent times, and no real regulation on who can or cannot take on debt. It has meant that many people have taken out credit cards and loans that they can barely afford. Sometimes, this has led to people taking large loans or mortgages for real estate they cannot realistically afford on their salaries. In other cases, it has resulted in people taking on several credit cards and blindly purchasing products & services and just “charging it”.”
