Pam's Picks: Angry Kids, Angry Birds & a Carnival

There was a wide variety of articles circulating the web this week to wind down 2011.  Here are some that I really enjoyed reading.

My 15 year old sent me a link to this article from Keith Wagstaff at www.techland.time.com which listed tweets from angry entitled kids.  My son told me that I should "write an article about the value of money education or you end up with kids like these."  He has a good point.



My two youngest kids, ages 8 and 11, love the Angry Birds game and have a good time laughing at how terrible I am at the game. It definitely caught my eye to see Linsey at Wisebread write about the things she has learned from Angry Birds.


And...drumroll please...


I was listed in my first Carnival of Personal Finance which was hosted this week by Money Cactus.  He pulled together a fabulous collection of personal finance articles and tied it into his trip to Australia.  Very creative!  Thanks so much for including MoneyTrail in the list.
