Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of May 23

As a reminder, the two simple credit card money makers I've written about recently are still available.

The first is the Chase Freedom® Visa - $150 Bonus Cash Back offer. I wrote about how you can earn up to 3.1% cash back using the card in How to Get 55% More Rewards (and 3.1% Cash Back) with Your Chase Freedom Credit Card. Check out the post for details.

The second is the Chase Sapphire? Preferred Card. I talked about it in How You Can Make Over $600 for Very Little Effort.

Now here are some pieces I found especially worthwhile and some of the carnivals Free Money Finance was in this week:

• Festival of Frugality 
• Carnival of Wealth
• Totally Money Blog Carnival
• Carnival of Personal Finance
• Wise Bread offers thoughts on getting organized.
• Get Rich Slowly tells how to run a profitable garage sale.
• The Simple Dollar says extra spending adds on to your working career.
• The Sun’s Financial Diary offers thoughts on checking accounts.
• Lazy Man and Money talks about LinkedIn's valuation.
• FrugalDad is raising money-smart kids.
• BripBlap has some time management quotes.
• Money Smart Life covers IRAs.
• The Digerati Life cover's Wesabe's demise.

Enjoy!

P.S. Carnival Hosts -- If my post is in your carnival in a given week, please send me the URL to the carnival and I will include it in my weekly roundup.
