Hi!  Hope you don't mind a little begging, but I've made it into the CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND of Jacob's blogging competition, the 2013 Tour de Personal Finance.  LAST ROUND!

 

This one is really awesome since the winner gets $700 donated to their charity of choice (the Houston SPCA) and wins $100 for themselves too.  :-)  

I could use all of the help I can get by this Wednesday, July 24th (the other post is ahead by 18 already).

Here's how to vote if you can find a minute to spare:

1. Click here to get to the competition at http://www.mypersonalfinancejo…..print.html.

2. Scroll down to the “Speak Your Mind” box under that post.

3.  Enter your name, an email, and type “Husband” into the comment box.

4.  Check the little box that says “Check here if you are human and have a pulse”

5.  REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE SUBSCRIPTION OPTION BOX FROM "ALL" TO "DON'T SUBSCRIBE" or you'll get emails every time someone votes.  I left myself subscribed, but I doubt regular voters like you really want every email, but could be fun, lol.

6.  Hit “Post Comment”

Thank you so much in advance!!!  Please tell everybody that you know!!!  This is the final push!!!

In the spirit of friendly competition, I am the one facing Crystal. Smile

 

If you so choose to vote for my post, you would just need to vote for "Time" in the link provided: http://www.mypersonalfinancejo…..print.html

 

If I win, the donation will be going to the Trisomy 18 Organization. The charity has a special place in my heart as my wife and I lost a son four minutes after he was born just short of five years ago, and wrote about last year in this post.

 

Thanks to anyone, in advance, who votes for my post. Good luck to both of us!  Smile

I'm friends with both of you, so I can't vote this time. Not picking sides :)

Sorry!!!  I haven't been keeping up with members like I should – had no idea Frugal Rules was Yakezie too!  Sorry!  No worries to anyone – vote for whichever post you like the best!  I feel silly.  Embarassed

PS  Not that it matters now, but I actually logged in to update the thread that I will be donating my part if I win to the HSPCA too.  So $800 to the HSPCA.  But Trisomy looks like a solid charity too, so good luck to either of us!

A big thanks to both Crystal and John for really taking this competition to the next level in the final round. There were over 150 votes in the last stage alone. Crazy! 

I have processed the donations and together, a combined $900 was donated to Trisomy and the Houston SPCA for their amazing efforts! Great stuff and great charities.

Really cool competition. It's nice to see these type of things make a real difference. Maybe next year I won't be so busy and can participate and follow it closer. :)
