And The Winner Of “Frugillionare” Is…

Last week I held a giveaway for a copy of the book Frugillionaire: 500 Fabulous Ways To Live Richly & Save A Fortune by Francine Jay and got quite an overwhelming response! Well, the winner has been chosen at random by random.org and her name is Annie Jones! Annie runs a website called Real Life Living, so this book should be right up her alley. Congrats Annie, and be on the lookout (if you haven’t gotten it already) for an email from me asking for your email address. If you didn’t win the giveaway this time, don’t worry – I have plenty more coming up real soon, so stay tuned.

Book Giveaway: ‘The Cure For Money Madness’.

This giveaway is now closed.As I promised yesterday, it’s time for yet another book giveaway. This time it is for “The Cure For Money Madness” by Spencer Sherman. This is a book that wants you to “Break Money Habits, Live Without Financial Stress – And Make More Money!”, so I am sure it will be of some use to a lucky reader. Money Madness, as the author uses the phrase, is basically anything that stops us from achieving whatever goals we have set for ourselves; we always seem to hinder our ability to get there in one way or another. And believe me, I have been there too and fought hard to get my financial house in order! Sherman takes a look at irrational feelings about money that so many of us have and how those feelings make us act completely irrational – we buy high and sell low, we overspend, we lie to ourselves and our significant others, and we equate our self-worth with our net-worth. (Something I struggled with myself for a while) Luckily, he takes us through how we got this “madness”, shows us how it can affect us, and teaches us how to free ourselves from it’s tight grip. One of the last chapters, Chapter 10, is titled “Enough – Finding Your Sufficiency“, which is something I preach about all the time here on My Two Dollars. He even mentions a trip to New Mexico when talking about “enough”, which is pretty funny considering that’s where I live! When do you reach your “enough” point? I reached mine a few years ago and have lived very comfortably since then. If you are still looking for yours, this book will definitely help you find it!

Book Giveaway Tomorrow Of ‘The Cure For Money Madness’.

It’s time for another giveaway, but this one starts tomorrow instead of right now. The reason I am giving you this heads-up? This time I am going to do it the old-fashioned way, by offering a secret code inside the RSS and Email subscriptions. The book is called “The Cure For Money Madness” by Spencer Sherman, and it calls for “No More Destructive Debt, Overspending, Money Fights, Worries, Secrets Or Lies”. That’s a lot to live up to! Anyway, if you are going to want to enter, be sure that you are subscribed by either RSS and Email, and to start looking tomorrow for the secret code you will need to email me to be put in the drawing. Full details and more information about the book will be up tomorrow morning!

Book Review & Giveaway: ‘The Difference’ By Jean Chatzky.

This giveaway has ended. This giveaway is for a copy of the book “The Difference” by Jean Chatzky. Her name may be familiar to some of you, as she is the financial editor for the Today show as well as a regular guest on Oprah when talking about all things money. The Difference is her newest book, which explores why and how some people have secured their financial futures and why others’ haven’t yet, and what those in the “know” are doing differently than those who are struggling. In fact, right on the cover of the book it says “How Anyone Can Prosper In Even The Toughest Times“… and if that isn’t a tagline we all need right now, then I am not sure what is! One of the biggest parts of this book, that speaks volumes to me (and is often left out of financial self-help books) is that happiness leads to money and success, and not necessarily the other way around. I am a big believer in doing what makes you happy rather than doing something just to make money, but Chatzky lays out how those who have succeeded in being financially secure have mostly managed to do both at the same time – something I think is entirely possible and necessary.
