Thank you very much! I'm honored that your honored.
I'm glad you liked my description about what it's like blogging, but it's interesting how you can apply that lesson to other parts of your life.

Great topic! Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of doom right now, I agree. Usually, this is one of those signs that contrarians watch out for, that spell opportunity for those bargain-hunting for discounted assets right now. Let's wait and see how it all pans out!

That is so true, and I think many people would like to make the plunge but for two things. One is not having the capital to take the plunge, having it either tied up in the market or halved in the last half-year. The second is the scope of the uncertainty. It's too bad that we didn't have bloggers back then during the 2001 crash, because then we can go back in the archives and see how severe the fearmongering was back then!
Great to have you visiting, thank you for the support, much appreciated!

Yeah it is a risk. That is crazy though, that you know someone with actual experience with it.

Thanks for giving my post the distinction of "post of the week"! I am honored! I am also very happy that you have estate planning as part of the carnival as I find that it is one of the most overlooked areas of finance in general.
Many thanks again for holding such a unique and great carnival that focuses on finance, family and kids! :)

in Best of Kids & Money: Part 1 of 7 on Money Hacks
Thank you so much for highlighting my article on "free college tuition". Gives a lot of us middle class folks hope for our bright young kids! I only have to worry about this in 15 years! :)

I hear that! I have two young boys, so my wait is a little longer than yours
(about 16 and 18 years), so I have plenty of time...but my gosh, it's a
scary proposition.
My advice to them will be: Community college! (If they still exist.)
