Carnival of Personal Finance #190: Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?

Funny About Money is hosting the 190th Carnival of Personal Finance, with a theme that revolves around how people survived the Great Depression. Funny About Money says:

Here we are in times that eerily echo the Great Depression. We have a tumbling stock market, collapsing financial institutions, soaring rates of foreclosures and unemployment, catastrophic weather events, and a new President influenced by Franklin D. Roosevelt and John Maynard Keynes who takes office after a period of unbridled greed and excess. Hence this week’s theme: buddy, can you spare a dime? Luckily we’re not yet in the dire straits that the country entered during the 1930s, and we hope not to get there. But it’s worth reminding ourselves that people did survive hard times then, and so will we.
