Weekend Roundup- The Election is Over Edition

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner. Barack Obama is the new president-elect of the United States. Well, it was a historical election, that is for sure. What are all the political pundits going to do now that the election is over? I guess the campaigns for 2012 will be starting fairly soon, so they may not be out of work for too long!

I participated in 4 carnivals this past week.

The Sun’s Financial Diary hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #177, and included my article “ Do We Really Need a Second Stimulus Check or New Stimulus Package?”

My favorites from the COPF:

The Return of Layaway from Ron at The Wisdom Journal

Tipping on the Takeout at Student Scrooge

Bargain Briana hosted the Festival of Frugality and included my article “Create Your Own Personal Financial Bailout Plan”.

Great reads from the FOF:
