Welcome to the Carnival of Personal Finance, now in its 48th week!
If this is your 1st time at 2millionblog, you can learn more about this blog, or find a semi-up-to-date index of personal finance articles.
My attempt at having a portion of the carnival focused on a particular personal finance subject manner was a small success, there were several submissions related to the ins and out of 401(k)s.
