Welcome to the December 28th, 2010 edition of the Best of Credit Cards and Saving Money Carnival.
The goal of this carnival is to highlight articles each week that provide a unique view of credit cards, credit scores, and personal finance that can help people save money.
To give us all a little break from the stresses that can almost certainly come around the holidays, the theme of this week’s edition is the one, the only, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Enjoy the articles and be sure to let me know which clip is your favorite in the comments section!
