Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of Aug 8

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

• Consumerist shares yet another reason why none of us should shop at Sears.
• The Simple Dollar talks about small steps to buying a home.
• Credit Score named FMF one of the top 20 frugal blogs.
• Dollar Versity lists three steps to organize your finances.
• Carnival of Personal Finance
• Totally Money Blog Carnival

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.
