It was three years ago on January 4 in a period of desperation that I registered for the domain and built the site that would become this blog. After coming up with the idea for this blog, I sat on it for a bit before actually writing anything. I didn’t know what I was doing and I started to question whether I wanted to share my financial crisis with the entire world.
I thought that maybe one or two people might stumble into my blog and possibly leave a message or two or word of encouragement. Never did I think that the blog would evolve to welcome tens of thousands of you every month, or that I would learn and share so much about money and finances. So, I am celebrating my third anniversary this month, and I’m doing it with you and some friends. In the true nature of giving, I and some blogging buddies have decided to reward YOU for following along, and we’re giving you a few chances to win some fabulous CASH and prizes.
We know Christmas might have left your pockets a little lighter, and we’d love to put a little bit of change back into your pockets. Here are the fabulous prizes.
