Here's another way you can win a free copy of Career Intensity. Simply leave a comment on your favorite post here at Free Money Finance. Here's how it works:
1. Leave a comment below on this post (only one comment/entry per person, please) with a link to your favorite Free Money Finance post and telling why you like it.
2. I'll give it a few days, then announce the winner by leaving a comment on the post myself.
3. If you're named the winner, be sure to email me the name and address where you want the book to be sent as well as if you want the author to sign it for you or to a special person (I'll need the name). (Note: I will not be sending you an email telling you you've won, you'll need to check the site.) I'll send you a confirmation email that I got your note. If you don't hear from me, I didn't get your email. BTW, the books are shipped out every Friday by media mail, which can take 2-3 weeks to receive from the time they are mailed. If you want to look at all the posts/winners, click on my giveaway category link. If I don't hear from you in a week, I will give the book to someone else.
As for rules, they simply are:
1. If you leave more than one comment, your entries will be invalid for that particular giveaway.
2. Once you win a book, you can't win another one. But if you have won a previous giveaway here at Free Money Finance, as long as it wasn't for this
book, you are eligible to win this book.
3. I will be the complete and final judge.
4. U.S. mailing addresses only.
Good luck!

By the way, I can probably come up with millions of other posts that I liked but I'm going to stick to just one for now, and hope that it'll get me a free book ;)

My cousin is a junior in high school and recently mentioned to me that she was ready to call it quits after she graduated. I was able to use this article to form a very good argument for attending college. I also added some of my non-financial experiences and some financial to make my point. But, I thought the post was both serendipitous and thorough, and a good jump off point to other articles that my cousin could read.
Hopefully, somewhere down the road, my cousin will look back at this article and see it as a great sign at an important fork in her road of life.
Thanks!

My favorite post is the one on your formula for buying a house:
http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2006/02/my_formula_for_.html
I like it because it's clearly in line with your general approach to money (spend less than you earn; do something smart with the surplus) and so far out of line with the thinking of the general population.

Not that this is my favorite, but something we need to be reminded of. Just this past weekend my wife and I were discussing the financial state of the state. Part of my concern is that I am saving now but when I reach retirement age (25 yrs) ... the govt will tax my savings at a high rate to distribute to all those of my generation who are not saving due to a bankrupt Social Security system.

I really liked the article about the value of an MBA. I was surprised to see how much your salary increased after getting an MBA. The calculator at Forbes was very useful too. I have been thinking about what to do after I finish my bachelor's degree next year and the MBA path is one I haven't given more than a passing thought. That post was a great reminder of some of the potential value one would give me.
