Hope you’ve all had a great weekend, and that the prospect of working tomorrow isn’t *too* frightening. This week there have been some great posts in the Personal Finance Blogosphere:

• Seb over at Pinching Copper made a great case for why a housing bailout is a bad idea. While I do feel sorry for many borrowers who are now in a horrible situation, artificially propping up the market is likely to lead to a whole lot more pain in the not-too-distant future.
• Mom from Wide Open Wallet has a fantastic article on how we can bilk ourselves out of true happiness by fooling ourselves into think we ‘deserve’ things we don’t even want.
• Hank from My Investing Blog considers whether we would be better off dumping the income tax and switching to a national sales tax.
• Ginger from Girls Just Wanna Have Funds has a great post outlining 8 recession-proof jobs. Very good reading in uncertain times like these.
• Shanti at AntiShay examines what’s involved in building a Snowflake Business. Fascinating stuff!
• Kevin at No Debt Plan talks about smart, frugal gardening by recommending you only buy plants that ‘pay dividends’. Check it out!

Have a great week everyone!
