An oil bubble, Gas prices and a higher salary for the same work @ The Roundup

I didn’t have enough time today to carefully review my favorite carnivals and recommend my picks so I settled for the editor’s picks instead. I’m sure they did a great job as usual.

As always, my favorite posts from around the finance blogosphere are also listed. Without further a due I present this week’s roundup:

The Carnival of Personal Finance #152 was hosted by Money Under 30. The following are the editor’s picks for the carnival:
