Welcome to the 14th edition of Carnival of Money Stories! For this edition of the carnival there were 25 submissions; however, the majority of them were not in line with this carnival’s theme. Please remember that this carnival is for posts that have personal stories about your finances. While I enjoyed reading several articles with “how to” advice or general information about personal finance, I did not include them because they lacked a personal story. Other blog carnivals exist for such submissions. With that out of the way, on to the submissions!

Editor’s Choice

Free Money Finance recounts his unpleasant experience with his Sears Elliptical machine. FMF did an awesome job documenting his year year long ordeal with Sears. I could totally relate to his experience of buying a product that ends up being a huge hassle in your life.
