It’s carnival time! This week’s carnival is brought to you courtesy of earn what you spend. My article on swine flu made the cut. Who knew financial and health safety can go hand in hand? Check out the carnival and check out my favorite picks of the week. All the submissions are worth something, I just happen to enjoy these:

• Mighty Bargain Hunter shakes the rattle of Generation Y.
• Dividends Value brings up that underfunded pension plans could be the next financial F up.
• Darwin’s Finance shows off my favorite graphs on saving money early. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
• That One Caveman brings up 8 things that new parents do not need. Stuff still does not equal love.
• 401k Planning answers the basic but important question of “how much do I need to contribute” for 401ks.

Also spend some time and check out this week’s host.
