Blogroll Picks** To increase the breadth of article links in each Carnival of Financial Planning, The Skilled Investor, proactively searches blogs to find articles that could be of interest to those interested in long-term financial planning. Each week, The Skilled Investor searches our blogroll in alphabetical order until we find a half-dozen interesting posts in addition to those that other bloggers have submitted to this Carnival. Next week, we will start again where we left off in the alphabetical rotation. Blogroll Picks are marked below by a double asterisk (**).
