Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of May 12

Here are some interesting posts this week as well as a list of the carnivals Free Money Finance was in this week and my posts that were included. But before I get to that, let me introduce a new advertiser here at Free Money Finance:

The site is Tutor.com and it offers affordable tutoring for any budget. They connect you to an expert tutor whenever you want help, and you only pay for the actual time you use. It's that simple. Stop by and say "hi" -- and be sure to tell them I sent you. ;-)

Now for the posts:

• BripBlap gave his first employer a gift.
• My Dollar Plan broke her cell phone.
• Money Smart Life covers health insurance.
• The Digerati Life favors long-term investing.
• The Sun’s Financial Diary discusses China.
• Generation X Finance looks at dollar cost averaging.
• Lazy Man and Money has some ideas for your stimulus check.
• Money Crashers covers buying a house during the housing crash.
• Carnival of Personal Finance - Save $3k Per Year or More by Throwing Away Stuff
• Carnival of Debt Reduction - I Have a Great Credit Score
• Festival of Frugality - Save Money by Stocking Up on Products
• Money Hacks Carnival - Save Money by Stocking Up on Products

Carnival Hosts: As a reminder, I post all carnivals I'm in for a given week as long as the host either emails me a link to the carnival or sends me a trackback.

Enjoy!
