Ever since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed a good contest. The concept behind throwing up a hail mary pass for a shot at something that would be out of reach under other normal circumstances has always held an appeal to me. In some cases, like the lottery or ., you’re paying for the chance to win, and it is easy to see why that’s simply not a good idea. What I’m referring to is a lot less life changing and a lot more fun. I still call in every year during Christmas time to a local radio station, for example, for a shot at a trip to the Caribbean or a new TV. I haven’t won yet, of course, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the thrill of trying.
Instead, what I’d like to do is start hosting some mini-contests to help toss in some additional fun to my weekly routine, including here on the blog! If so, what would you like to win? Note it would probably be a monthly contest with a small prize, like a book or something. If you wanted a tool to help you with your Personal Finances, what would it be? The latest and greatest iteration of “Spend less than you earn” in book form? A gift certificate to a movie? I’m open to suggestions!
