The Wealth Builder Carnival #76

Welcome to the seventy-sixth edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival. The purpose of this carnival is to collect articles from the blogosphere on building, preserving and keeping enough wealth for a comfortable retirement. For reference, I have tried to keep the carnival content tightly focused on wealth building and did not include submissions that were off topic. For reading convenience, the posts are listed with a brief summary or comment by the submitter and organized into seven categories: Earning, Insuring and Protecting, Investing, Living Frugally, Retiring, Saving and Taxes.  This week all of the submissions were excellent and I enjoyed reading each one.

However, from an investing standpoint, it does provide an opportunity..."

Super Saver presents Net Short posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, "The value of short positions are now greater than the value of long positions in my trading account. If the market should decline this week, the value of the trading account will increase."

Saving


Laura Edgar presents NerdWallet’s Top Picks for Senior Checking posted at NerdWallet Blog - Credit Card Watch, saying, "Senior checking accounts usually offer free or discounted checks, and incentives for a higher average daily balance, like an increased interest rate."

Raj presents The Basics of Money Management – Save, Invest and Repeat | eMoneyLog posted at eMoneyLog, saying, "The article covers the basics of money management – saving, investing and repeating the process. The emphasis is on repeating as many people save and invest initially but do not repeat and do not accumulate wealth."


Taxes


John presents Students with Summer Jobs Shouldn’t Forget the Tax Man posted at Wallet Blog, saying, "Students - Looking forward to that summer job? Avoid a nasty surprise in the spring. Don't forget to take taxes into consideration."
