Carnival of Money Stories - 27th Edition

I'm really excited to host the 27th Edition of Money Stories. There were a lot of submissions that I had to go through. The originator of the carnival wanted to ensure that only "stories" of money/finance were hosted on the blog. There were some great posts about money and personal finance that were submitted; however, I chose these because they told a personal story. So here they are in no particular order.

• Stephanie presents Rethinking Wants posted at Stop the Ride!.
• Paidtwice presents The Accidental Investor I've Paid For This Twice Already... posted at I've Paid For This Twice Already....
• Glblguy presents My Yard is a Waste of Time and Money posted at Financial Dominance.
• Lazy Man presents Lazy Man and Jealousy posted at Lazy Man and Money.
• Trent Hamm presents My Ongoing Battle With The Cash In My Pocket posted at The Simple Dollar.
• NCN presents $48,000 Goal Update: 9 Months (Roth IRAs Fully-Funded!) posted at No Credit Needed.
• Kay Bell presents Express lane to financial embarrassment posted at Don't Mess With Taxes.
• Millionster presents No Hope For Saving Money With a Hot New Girlfriend posted at Millionster.com.
