Free eBook, TaxCut Giveaway, Carnivals, and Dave Ramsey

Free eBooks — Money Matters for All Ages

Not long ago, I wrote “Money Matters for All Ages – The Chaotic Thirties” as part of a collaborative project with 15 other personal finance bloggers. Our cumulative efforts turned into a financial guidebook that spans an entire lifetime. From the innocent little infant to the older retiree, all the different stages of life are covered here.

Finally, we have completed the compilation and turned our individual posts into a free eBook that anyone can freely download, share, and distribute (as long as it’s free and unmodified)

Please visit my brand new free eBooks download page to get your copy now. If you like our work, please feel free to share this with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Note: Links in the previous PDF file didn’t work. Please accept my apology for the inconvenience, and download the new version with clickable links.

TaxCut Giveaway

I always have been a big fan of TaxCut. This year one of their representatives contacted me and asked me to giveaway 2 free copies of TaxCut Online Premium Software + E-file (a value of $19.95). I am going to make this one easy, and reward my regular readers and fellow bloggers.

This is how I will be choosing the two winners:

• The first comment ID for today is 5946.
• When you leave a comment (or a trackback — i.e., by linking to my blog), the system generates a new unique comment ID
• Each approved comment or trackback from today until March 7th will automatically be entered into the giveaway
• On March 8th 12:00 am, I will randomly choose two winners from comment ID 5946 to whatever number we get to

In short, you don’t have to do anything different and I will pick two winners from my group of regular blog readers and bloggers who link to me. When I contact you:

• If you don’t want the prize, I will randomly pick another person
• If you want the prize, I will send your email to the representative and she will send you the key code to unlock the software (probably by the following Monday or Tuesday)

Also, if you don’t want to wait until March 7th, H&R Block has just made their TaxCut Basic for PC and Mac available as a free download.

Carnivals & The Money Hacks Carnival

I started a new money and finance carnival, called the Money Hacks Carnival. Prime Time Money has graciously volunteered to be the first host and we already have over 60 submissions!

I would love to include your post in the carnival. The submission deadline is 2/26 at 2 PM and the carnival will be publishing on the morning of February 27th. Please use the Blog Carnival submission page to submit your entry. If you’d like to host, please contact me.

Carnivals I participated in this week

Since we’re on the subject, I participated in a couple of carnivals this week. Please give these fine carnivals a visit:

• Is Peer to-Peer Lending Ready for Prime Time? was featured in the Carnival of Peer-to-Peer Lending #4 hosted by Prosper Lending Review.
• Roger Clemens, Steroids in Baseball, and Congressional Hearings was featured in the Carnival of Political Punditry – February 17, 2008 hosted by I’m A Pundit Too.
• Credit Safety On The College Campus was featured in the Carnival of Debt Management #39 hosted by Credit Card Lowdown.
• What Is A Certified Financial Planner? An Interview with Ciaran McKeever was featured in the Carnival of Personal Finance #140 — Prison Break Edition hosted by The Financial Blogger.

I also have been babysitting the Festival of Frugality and wrote two frugal tips so far:

• Frugal Tip: Avoid Use Once and Disposable Items
• Frugal Tip: Are Forever Stamps Frugal?

Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps

Starting tomorrow, the M-Network and a special guest will be kicking off a 10-day series based on Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps. Since we are not all Ramseyites, the series will not be all about Ramsey’s teachings.

Please look for the introductory post at Cash Money Life tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
