FMF March Money Madness, Round 1, Posts 25-28

Here we go with the first round of Free Money Finance March Money Madness (to follow all the action click on my March Money Madness category link and scroll down to read all the posts involved in this subject.)

I've listed each "game" (one post versus another) in segments along with the wording provided by the author when the post was submitted. I've also listed a keyword after each post title to make it easy to vote (as a made-up example, you can just comment: Game 1: Saving; Game 2: Investing, etc.) Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two -- you will help determine the winner! Criteria for the best article is somewhat subjective, but you can use these factors as a guide: 1) practicality of the post 2) how interesting/provocative/unique it is, 3) the "personal-ness" of it and 4) its impact on net worth.

Here are today's games:

GAME 13

VERSUS

Do a financial self appraisal (Self) - I just submitted my self-appraisal at work. Even though it is one among the least favorite parts of my job, I can see how a self-appraisal helps me set some aside to think about what I excelled at over the previous 12 months and what improvements need to be made over next year. It makes me improve constantly and do a better job year after year. I am improving myself for the company’s benefit (mostly). But how many of us do a self-appraisal for our own good. Isn’t it our aim in life to be better than where we were last year? Financially, spiritually and physically?
