Welcome to this perfectly normal, regularly scheduled, Friday, November 21, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the one place on the web where you can catch up with the best posts from the best of the past week's money and business related blog carnivals!
After two weeks in a row of posting late editions of OMM, we're celebrating our return to our "normal" schedule with some outstanding posts this week! Here's a quick sample of the best of the best:
- Abby finds that being poor also means being virtually recession-proof!
- You might get a 0% interest rate for 6 months on that credit balance you transfer to a new card, but the Art of the Coupon finds that the real cost is about 100 points of your credit rating.
- Want to make money online? Maria shares how much and from where she earns passive income for the things she's written in The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!
These posts, and the rest of the best of the week that was, await you below!...
