this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

This week I participated in the Carnival of Money Stories.  A carnival is a group of posts all about a similar topic normally hosted by a different blog each week (kind of like a huge link love post).  This week the Carnival of Money Stories was hosted by Living Almost Large and included my post, So That's How They Do It.  I was especially excited to see that it was chosen as an editor's pick!

Now on to the links:
