I am giving away a copy of You Need a Budget! All you need to do to enter is to leave any comment on this post. Sometime in the next day or two, 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!
I'm new to your site (and financial responsibility in general). YNAB sounds great. Hope I'm a winner!
Thanks.

Love this site. Been reading for about a year now, in my continuing obsession with personal finance and getting out of debt (just a few short months left to go!).

We can definitely use this. My husband is losing his job this week and although we've been pretty good with our budgeting, it's always been a static amount. We now need to really go week by week, and month by month for a while to see where we can cut back and this would definitely help.
Fortunately, we've got some savings and not too much debt (we've paid down $14k in the past 2 years).

I'd appreciate it if you'd pick me. I'm not just here for the free software and book.
I just returned from a deployment overseas and have a sizable amount of money. I recently started a ladder CD but am very hesitant of investing anymore in the stock market currently. I'm doing my homework and crossing my fingers. I will make a decision on my investments soon (I hope so anyway).
While overseas I invested in a program for service members called the Savings Deposit Program (SDP) which accrues 10% interest. The max to invest is 10k. That's a no brainer and I did it, thus far I've accumulated over $500 in interest in a matter of months.
Within the next week I will be moving into a house and hopefully starting on the right foot for a precise budget.
All this said, I would greatly appreciate it if you picked me. I'd use it, that's for sure. Thanks.

Posted by: CoolHappyGuy | January 05, 2009 at 12:23 PM
have tried creating budgets in the past using quicken and excel spreadsheets - hasn't been very effective. this program looks great, particularly because of the concept of spending this month what you earned last month - which is, unfortunately, not they way we've been doing it in our home. would love to win this and begin taking control of our finances and whittling down 20K in debt!
