Welcome to the December 1, 2008 edition of the Carnival of Twenty Something Finances. I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. In honor of stuffing our faces with food and drinks over the long weekend, I’d like to dedicate this edition to the dreaded Thanksgiving hangover. I think this picture sums it up pretty well.
