Snowflaking Has Its Own Carnival
Snowflaking, the popular concept of throwing all your extra little bits of money toward your debts, has quickly snowballed into its own website and carnival. Check out the first edition of the Carnival of Snowflakes, hosted by paidtwice, snowflaker extraordinaire!
The submissions include lots of practical advice and suggestions for coming up with extra snowflakes (even pennies!)
As for me, I’m trying to come up with a more systematic way to handle snowflaking. I currently snowflake all my bonus income and other “surprise” checks, but tend to re-absorb other savings back into my checking account. After reading all these submissions, I’m ready to go sell some more stuff on Craigslist, hawk off my old gold jewelry and teach Italian (not that I speak Italian, but that’s beside the point!).

Thanks for the link! Well - you can find something else to teach or do that you DO know
Thanks for the link. I love the picture you put with this post!
the carnival was great! i was really glad to see your “reverse snowflaking post” in there. i sometimes feel like the PF blogosphere “advice” gets really repetitive, but that was a new, and i thought, helpful idea, well-expressed.
