Dollar Frugal has posted the latest Carnival of Personal Finance. My article on conducting a financial fire drill made the list. Lots of other good articles are up this week. Here are a few of my favorites:

• InsureBlog talks about why medical costs are rising. here’s a hint – DEADBEATS.
• $uburban Dollar rolls out how to build a CD ladder. These are great plans to make sure all your money isn’t locked into one particular deposit.
• ABC’s of Investing schools us on what GDP is, how it is measured, and when it is measured.
• Go To Retirement talks about building a ladder as well. Instead of using CDs, Mr. Go To suggests TIPS. If you don’t know what tips are, read the article!

Take some time today and read Dollar Frugal, not just for the carnival, but for all the other good articles.
