Gather Little by Little

Welcome to the 161th edition of the Carnival of Debt Reduction!

My absolute favorite time of the year is fall. I love the cool crisp air and the beautiful colors of the leaves as they turn. I also enjoy beautiful photographs. Not only will you find some great articles in this carnival, but I’ve inserted some beautiful fall pictures as well.

Spend some time reading through the articles, if you find something you like consider leaving a comment on the authors blog, subscribing to their feed or even submitting the article to StumbleUpon, Digg or PF Buzz.

If this is your first time visiting Gather Little by Little, I’m really glad to have you. I’d recommend that you check out my Best Of page and then maybe even browse the archives a bit. If what you find appeals to you, please subscribe via RSS or email.

Oh one last thing…those of you that submitted, don’t forgot to link back to the carnival!

Editor’s Picks

Here are my personal favorite articles from everything submitted:

• Until Debt Do US Part presents Affluenza – the credit party is over posted at Until Debt Do Us Part – Really interesting article that asks “So now that the easy credit party is over and we are all feeling the effects of the debt hangover the question I have is was it worth it?”. I even learned a new word that describes the cause very accurately, Affluenza. Nope, it’s not a disease…at least not physically.
• shadox presents Credit in Tough Times posted at Money and Such – Consumer borrowing is down for the first time since 1999. Wondering why? Read the article.
