This week Consumerism Commentary hosts the Third Anniversary Edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance. Part 2 of the Gen X interview series is featured in the carnival. I’m learning so much from the interviews and hope to continue the series for a few more weeks. Thanks for the contributions so far!

The Simple Dollar proposes an interesting discussion on what should be part of a high school consumer education.
