Carnival of Personal Finance #267

Welcome to the Carnival of Personal Finance #267!  It’s been a long time since I’ve hosted a CoPF.  So long, in fact, that I’ve never hosted one in the 2 years that I’ve had Beating Broke.  I hosted one once upon a time with another site, but that was easily 4 or so years ago.  It’s grown immensely since then.

If you are curious, you can go and check out last weeks carnival, and next weeks carnival will be hosted at the Ultimate Money Blog.

This is a long carnival, so let’s get right to it.
