    Awesome roundup as always and awesome comp this week. Looks like the entries are flooding in!

    I watched the financial crash video, much of the info there I have seen before in other docs….. I can see it as a real possibility but not a certainty (but I am not financial expert).

    Also the water filter teabags are awesome. Good for them!

    @Roshawn @ Watson Inc
    Yep, I like your format as well. I tried linking out to carnivals, but I found it a little tedious to track plus I prefer linking out to a different article. I think it’s better for Google juice, too!

    @BeatingTheIndex
    You’re welcome!

    @The Biz of Life
    Yep, I saw it on your site and the Daily Capitalist as well. No matter what your political stripes, one’s gotta know that the government (which in the end uses our resources), does not have a bottomless bank of resources. Thanks for sharing the video!

    @Myke@In Search of Salt
    I couldn’t resist the massive list 😉

    @Everyday Tips
    I’m glad that it’s working for you! I love being able to receive the new replies, and I’m sure your readers will appreciate it as well.

    @Joe Plemon
    You’re welcome! Yep, couldn’t resist the massive list.

    @Money Smarts Blog
    I tried to limit the roundup, but there was just too much out there to link to, plus I also want to thank those who link to me by linking back to them, too. 😉

    @Forest
    Thanks! Yep, what is described in the video by no means has to become reality, but our situation is precarious the same as walking along the edge of a cliff is precarious. A sudden gust of wind might blow you off into the abyss.

    P.S. Yep, I love technology. Those teabags are quite cool.

    @Financial Cents
    Thanks, hope you enjoyed your weekend!

    @Ben
    You’re welcome; I found it relevant! Gonna become a homeowner soon, myself. 🙂

    @Mrs. Accountability
    You’re welcome, and thanks for the great promotion of my own giveaway.

    @Mark
    You’re welcome, Mark! You’ve brought up a lot of interesting topics lately; just don’t get too protectionist! 😛

    @Jesse
    Cool! I should try it out myself sometime! 😉 Thanks again for sponsoring!

    @Khaleef @ KNS Financial
    You’re welcome, and thanks for the great comments and promo.
