Carnival of Debt Reduction time!
November 2nd, 2009 | by mbhunter |Welcome to this week’s Carnival of Debt Reduction! I’m very pleased that more of the submissions are on-topic. This is a very good thing, and I know it will benefit everyone concerned, from readers to submitters to hosts, to have a more on-target carnival each week.
Here are this week’s debt reduction posts, with the personal debt reduction stories up top:
- The Good Life on a Budget has paid off a car loan eight months early! Congrats!
- Man vs. Debt has a post from a reader on how they paid off their $15,000 debt by selling their stuff on eBay.
- Digerati Life has a post from a guest contributor that reduced debt with a loan modification.
- Reduce Debt Faster outlines three good ways to lower your credit card payments. (Hint: It never hurts to ask!)
- PT Money has an interesting question from a reader with a bit of debt problem that isn’t really her own overspending.
- Damon Day shares a sad story of a woman hit with a debt settlement nightmare.
- Christian Personal Finance gives four ways on how to pay off your mortgage early.
- Bargaineering has a post from Kyle from Suburban Dollar on telling the difference between first- and third-party debt collectors.
- Cash Money Life suggests this question as a wake-up call: “Do you know how much interest you are paying each month?”
- Clear Choice Credit Cards posts a debt elimination guide.
- Your Money Relationship stirs up the good debt vs. bad debt question, with an anecdote on student loan debt.
- Eliminate the Muda has an interesting take on debt consolidation.
Again, thanks everyone for the on-topic posts.
One last thing: If you’ve got debt questions, head over to Cash Commons and ask them! They can even be as specific as this one.
Have a great week!

Hey John,
Thanks for the inclusion. I was out of the loop for a few weeks during our move, but I am back up and hope to have a few more posts to select from next week.

Great stories. I appreciate the stories you have listed here. They are extremely helpful. This really helps give someone who might need ideas on how to reduce or completely pay off debt.
