Here's today's quote from a satisfied You Need a Budget user:
“I’ve been using your program for a month and I’m so impressed. It’s a brilliantly simple idea that’s simply brilliant - log *ALL* your income and outgo in one place so you can get the big picture. I’m on target to save 10% of my take home this month after overspending the first seven months of this year. Thanks!” - Dorothy C.
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!

Thanks for this blog. I went ahead and purchases YNAB this morning. I probably would not have done that if you did not hold this contest.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
