Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of Mar 30

Before we begin, I just want to bring attention again to the Free Money Finance giveaway e-newsletter.  Yesterday, April's edition went out and offered a total of 14 giveaway items (Quicken Deluxe, 10 Arby's Roastburgers, and 3 Mogul games) for newsletter-only subscribers PLUS they got first notice on what else I'll be giving away on the site in April. If you want to have a better chance to win more items as well as get the inside scoop on what else is going on at Free Money Finance, subscribe to my e-newsletter.

For weekday updates of what I find to be some of the most interesting personal finance articles on the web, follow me on Twitter. For now, here are some recent interesting posts from around the web as well as a list of the carnivals Free Money Finance was in this week and my posts that were included:
