The Carnival of Pecuniary Delights is a new personal finance and frugality blog carnival, which like most blog carnivals, will travel weekly from one finance blog to another. The purpose of this carnival is to feature quality blog articles from around the personal finance blogosphere without discrmination as to the age of the posts, but rather the quality.

Hosts will be asked to be more selective than usual in choosing posts to include in their editions; instead of including every submission that isn’t SPAM, hosts will be asked to only include articles which they feel are of lasting value and relevant to current times.

The first edition will be published on Thursday April 2, 2009 and hosted at my blog Pecunarities, with subsequent editions following every Thursday. If you are a blogger and would like to host an edition, please visit the Hosting Guidelines page to apply to host.
