Carnival of Women’s Personal Finance # 1
[ Editor's Note: Welcome to the February 4, 2008 edition of carnival of women's personal finance. I had to sort through the posts that I felt were really targeted towards the personal finance as it relates to women. I did not include posts which did not fit this requirement as the goal is to feature posts from other personal finance bloggers that are geared to towards women. If you were not included in this round, please feel free to submit a post following the guidelines on the next round.]
