Hey Everyone,
I've been somewhat out of the loop, but am jumping back in with a little blog swap hosting. This swap's topic will be Accountability Partners. The Divas like to call this person a Money Buddy. Many of us have or are working our way out of debt. It helps to have someone walk along side to keep us focused on the end goal…debt freedom!!!!
The questions I'd like to pose are (pick one or any combination):
1. Do/Did you have an accountability partner in your debt free journey? If married does that person always need to be your spouse? How was this person important to reaching your goal?
2. What are some characteristics to consider when selecting an accountability partner?
3. Are you anti-accountability partner? If so, why?
Here's the twist! Instead of blogging your reactions, let's do a little video blogging. Create a 30-60 second vlog that touches on the importance of accountability partners (or not as the case may be).
The sign up sheet for those who are able to participate is:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtkV3jUA99VvdDFnQWRxeVJnWmxsazdXVHVRczdEelE&hl=en&authkey=CJDy7ZQG#gid=9
Vlogs should be ready to swap Friday, July 29 by 10 AM CST. (I know this is quick, I apologize for the delay in starting).
I will post/email the partners by Wednesday evening. (7/27)
The Challenge!
To spice up the swap a bit I thought we'd make a little competition out of this. Even thought this is short notice, I am certain that we can churn out some creative takes on the Money Buddies! So, of all the entries posted by Friday, July 29 @ 10 AM CST, I'll pull out a handful of finalists. We'll let everyone vote on the best vlog via anonymous poll and the winning vlog get's re-posted by everyone in the swap (either FB, tweet, or blog – your pick). What do you all think? (Oh, for the camera shy among us, there is no requirement to appear in your own video.)
I know this is short notice, but if you are up for a little challenge – this should be fun!

Thanks for hosting! I'm not really in to the video blogging game, but would be up for participating if we can write a post.

Hate to be a party pooper, but I am not into vlogging either. If we can write a post I will, but if not, I'll pass this time.

I like the idea as I want to start using videos once in a while. However, I can't make the timeline. Sorry .

I won't be able to participate either (really sorry). I don't think I am ready for vlogging yet.
Sorry!

Okay folks. I am nothing if not flexible. Let's open it up to written posts as well. The competition will extend to both types. Thanks for the feedback!

Looks like only two blogs have signed up so far.
If there's low interest this time around, suggest to just catch the next blog swap.
I've been waiting to write my post until the pairings were confirmed, but please let us know tonight if this will proceed. Thanks!

That sounds like a plan. We'll cancel this one and just wait for the next go round. Thanks for being open!

If you go back to Vlog format, I'm down. Very cool idea.

I was reading the replies and saying to myself, "daggummit!" I just bought a webcam, but I'm shipping my newer laptop back to the manufacturer. My backup laptop doesn't have enough RAM to effectively record video without freezing up. Hopefully, I'll be up and fully running in a couple weeks.
With that said, I'd love to provide a video response. Hope you provide the option again!

Very cool idea. Can't do it this time, as we are leaving within a few days (finally) to move across the land.
For a bit of shameless self promo-My hubby has spent this summer doing some really cool videos for my site… check out my channel and tell me what you think http://www.youtube.com/user/Ba…..bFriedberg

Hey Barbara, Very impressed with your YT Channel. I'm contemplating adding some new media myself. This is great.
