The final round of the March Madness competition for best personal finance post of last year is still going on at Free Money Finance, and my post is in a practically dead heat with Being Frugal’s entry. If you haven’t voted, consider stopping by and throwing a vote in for snowflake. The prizes go to charity, and my charity is The Make a Wish Foundation. And you might win $50 just for voting in the form of a Smarty Pig gift card from Free Money Finance!
