Welcome to the Friday, August 1, 2008 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the one place you'll find the best posts extracted from the week's past money and business-related blog carnivals!
It's all about answering questions this week! Is Tiger Woods buying an estate near where the U.S. Open will be played next year? Can doing without credit cards reduce the prices you pay? If your doctor says you're dying, do you really have as much time as they say you do? What can you do today to avoid paying huge bills in the future? Does buying stock in Sears make sense? Which stocks should you invest in today? How do you become a millionaire? What are the real benefits of owning a Nintendo Wii?
And those are just the questions asked and answered by the posts that aren't The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere! For that question, as well as the links to the answers to the rest of the questions, just keep scrolling down....
