Financial Simplicity Carnival, 2nd Edition

Welcome to the second edition of the Financial Simplicity Carnival, hosted by yours truly.  Even though the carnival moved from the planned twice monthly to an every week format, there were a ton of submissions.  As such I couldn’t include all the great articles that I’d like to with a stated maximum of 20 articles.  The competition is tough, that’s for sure!  Congrats to all those listed below, and keep on submitting, as the quality has been fantastic!  On to the Carnival.
