Financial advice from all corners of the globe in one place

The latest "Carnival of Personal Finance," hosted by the Canadian Personal Finance Blog, offers all sorts of advice for your money from every type of family personality -- the fatherly advice, brotherly advice, etc. WalletPop's contribution -- Lita Epstein's post on What the Proposed Stimulus Means to You, falls under motherly advice.

But maybe there should have been a section for a story like this under "Presidential advice," since the break-down of what will actually swing your way from the big government hand-out about to start is basically up to Obama as father-in-chief. What allowance will we get? What allowances will we pay for out of our own pockets for a very long time? We have yet to see any break down where the amount that an individual will save is greater than the cost per person of the entire billion-dollar package. So somehow, trying to get excited about an extra couple of bucks at the end of the year after our taxes are filed is a little muted.

The bill is coming sooner or later, putting a damper on the party. But that said, there's plenty of cheerier advice in this weekly round-up, so if you're looking for a boost to keep your spending habits sane, check out the various blogs contributing.
