Win a Free Copy of You Need a Budget!

This giveaway is now closed. See winner in my comment below.

Here's today's quote from a satisfied You Need a Budget user:

"Got it!  THANX very much.  My husband & I have just begun reading your set-up guide.  We really appreciate your straightforward, accessible & humorous writing style.  Thanx so much for creating YNAB, Jesse.  We're already feeling more in control of our money!" - Deb

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!

An old Indian saying: many a person has been stuck in the spiral of 99 ... once they reach 99, and not sure of the count, start counting again from 1!

New game. With each entry I select a new religion and pray to their deity/prophet/G-d. On the day I win, I will convert. (Disclaimer: I probably won't really convert)

Using a random religion tool I found on Google, today's I will be..... Atheistic (ironic isn't it?)

We've used excel spreadsheets before, but they are so complicated. My husband is the financial guru for our extended family but we haven't found a good way to track money. We've looked at Quicken and MS Money but maybe YNAB is a good thing. Hopefully we'll see.

[George Emerson]

This budget software looks great, but what's even better is the simple and straightforward nature of this blog. I think I might even be able to get my wife on board with this one!
BTW - we love Moose Tracks ice cream. Our local video store/cafe sells it, and our kids order it every time.

[RJR]

Please let me win.

[Corey]

Thanks!

[morydd]

Consider my comment filed.

[mark]

Kudos for the great work you're doing with this blog. Consider me a new fan. And thanks much for pointing out YNAB. Hadn't heard of it before. Seems like a great way to get a handle on *future* spending, which is where the likes of Quicken are so sorely lacking.

I'll probably plunk down for the Excel-based version (I'm on a Mac), but winning a free copy would be just so amazingly cool.
