March Madness at Free Money Finance
Free Money Finance has started his Personal Finance March Madness competition again this year. FMF’s March Madness is a head to head competition between the best of personal finance of the past year (as submitted by their authors). The posts are voted on in pairs by readers, and the winner advances to face the winner of another pair, until there is one final winner. The winner has $500 donated to the charity of their choice, with second, third and fourth place also getting charitable donations.
I was privileged enough to win the competition last year with my primer on snowflaking (and $500 was donated to my charity, the Make a Wish Foundation), so when I saw the announcement a few weeks ago, I entered this year with another snowflaking “how to” – 10 Can’t Miss Ways to Kickstart Snowflaking. I am again playing for the Make A Wish Foundation, a charity that fittingly enough, I originally starting donating to because it was close to my father’s heart.
My post enters the competition today, paired against an interview with Get Rich Slowly’s author JD Roth. If you are the voting type, I encourage you to pop on over to FMF and check out today’s pairs vying to be named the best in personal finance for 2009!
