On with the round up...


Festival of Frugality: Bargain Briana takes us through the Election Day edition of the FoF. Trade agreements made headlines late in the campaign and the Mrs's new series on products made in the USA kicks off with a post about your kicks.

• Lisa at Greener Pastures asks, "Would you buy an American car?". We answer with a resounding, "Yes!".
  

Carnival of Money Stories: SimplyForties hosts this week with their take on an Election Day Edition. What is this election everyone keeps talking about?! Just kidding! Our entry this week is on a much more serious note: Layoffs and the survival there of.

• No More Spending is not only getting out of debt, but also greatly simplifying their finances and accounts. See how.
  

Carnival of Money Hacks: the 37th edition bucks the election theme trend in favor of 'Wonders of the World' garb. Our post falls under the Great Wall of China heading as layoffs reach an equally staggering magnitude.


Carnival of Wealth, Money, and Life: Under the heading of 'Life', we talk about death and the prospect of dying without a will. Getting a will is not as hard as you think and more neccessary than you can imagine.
