Its been a rough week for the Think Your Way To Wealth blog. Since last Monday, the site has been down as many as 4 to 8 hours per day, due to problems my web host, Dreamhost is having. Things seem to be getting back to normal as of today, so hopefully they have things under control. If you have tried to visit during the week, I apologize if the site was not available. Hopefully the coming week will be better!
I did actually participate in 3 carnivals this week, since I submitted to them early in the week before I had major problems.
Million Dollar Journey hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #145-Baby Education Edition and selected my post “11 Ways to Market Yourself at Work to Increase Your Salary” as an editor’s pick. Great job with the carnival.
My Dollar Plan hosted the Festival of Frugality #118-The ABC Edition, and included my post “Your Health and Money-Save Money by Living Healthier”. Very nice job with the festival.
Antishay Ventenne hosted the Money Hacks Carnival #5-Haute Couture Edition and included my post “Mistakes I Have Made with Money that You Should Avoid”. She did an excellent job with the carnival including lots of “fashion” related images.
Good reading from around the Personal Finance Blogosphere:
Ana at Debt Free Revolution gives an update on teaching her teenage son about budgeting- Teen on a Budget-Milk Update. I wish someone had taught me about budgeting at an early age, although I am not sure if i would have listened either.
Money Blue Book has a post describing How to Cheaply Repair Auto Window Glass With Used Junkyard Parts. I am a big fan of doing as much auto repair work as I can myself, so I found this very interesting and informative. I have never visited a junkyard to find parts, but i will in the future if the need arises.
Bripblap talks about starting a Go to Hell Fund, after an emergency fund, college savings for your kids, and retirement savings. This fund will allow you to walk away after being fired, or walk away by your own choice from an unrewarding job situation. Several commentators has interesting names for this kind of fund as well!

Thanks for the mention! Yeah, my original idea for the name of this fund was a little more harsh - I usually refer to it as my “f-u fund…”
