Here's today's quote from a satisfied You Need a Budget user:
"Re: import transactions from Quicken. Did it. Your program rocks. Thanks for your help. Now to delete Quicken."
I am giving away a copy of You Need a Budget every day here at Free Money Finance from December 15 to December 31. Here's how it will work:
- I'll post every day announcing the contest for that day.
- All you'll need to do to enter that day's drawing will be to leave any comment on that post.
- Sometime the next day, I'll select a winner at random and announce with a new post that a winner has been selected.
- It will be the winner's responsibility to email me their contact information.
- I'll then send the winner's information to the You Need a Budget people and they'll work out getting the prize delivered.
A few rules for these giveaways:
1. You can not win more than one prize.
2. I will be the complete and final judge.
3. Legal disclaimer: I can not guarantee safe delivery of the items. I've worked with the YNAB people before and they're great, so I'm sure it will all work out smoothly. That said, I won't be held accountable if there's a mess up.
4. If you win something and do not contact me within a week of winning, I reserve the right to give your prize away to another winner. I won't track down the winners -- it's your responsibility to come back and see if you won.
5. Local laws, rules, and regulations apply.
Good luck! Post a comment below for your chance to win!

One person reported YNAB imported Quicken data - will it import MS-MONEY as well? Send my free copy on!

It was the day after Christmas
And all through our dwelling
No one was saving
We were buying, not selling
Then out of the blue
The FMF blog
Stated "You Need A Budget"
Could rid our fiscal fog
So this day I ask
From the financially lost
For a free copy of YNAB
With none of the cost
