And the award for the most complicated book giveaway goes to.... :)

I'll take whatever book is available - I'm not picky!

Steve, I've got to say I love your posts on career, family, health, etc. They add a personal element to your blog that many personal finance blogs don't have, and if you drop them, I will miss reading them (as will many others, I am sure). I will especially miss the career perspectives you share; I am at a stage where I am trying to balance career goals with life goals.

I agree that most people classify your blog in the personal finance realm, but that is because you write about how money and career related decisions make it possible to live the life you want to live - on your terms. The way you write brings all these elements together seamlessly, with the common thread of using money as a tool to live.

Your blog is a blog about life. And therein lies its appeal.

Very nice contest. :)

I don't Twitter-pate, so I'll miss out on a few points, but that's OK. I have a long reading list right now anyway. ;)

1=Your Money or Your Life

I agree with Patrick! Don't lose the individuality of your site by becoming just another personal finance site. You can do mostly pf blog entries, but the occasional digression is what makes your blog different and enjoyable.

Steve (Brip Blap) · 1 year ago

@Ruth, @Patrick: Oh, don't worry - I didn't mean I was going to completely go over in that direction. I do think - very much like Patrick suggested - I'll just try to tie everything in around money. It's hard to maintain health/family/etc. - going all over the place - and maintain a "theme." I just meant I would try to be a little more thematic. I'm not going to wholesale go over to personal finance only - just that I'm going to try to keep my topics a little bit narrower and maybe not drift off into some of the esoteric areas I find myself drifting off into sometimes.

Then again I have an idea for a post on artificial intelligence which has nothing to do for money so it may be a short-lived resolution....

Steve (Brip Blap) · 1 year ago

@Four Pillars: No, it's not the most complicated giveaway ever - I'm sure someone somewhere made a trickier one...

And no, you have to express a preference! Them's the rules! :)

CindyS · 1 year ago

Books:

1. Your Money or Your Life
2. Getting Things Done
3. X Marks the Spot
4. Greatest Salesman
5. Zen to Done ( I have this one)

I hope you don't go over totally to finance either although I look forward to reading more from you on investing and wealth building. I also enjoy your self improvement posts. Do you think that you get more traffic from the PF sites because it's easier to promote through carnivals, festivals, etc?

Dividend growth investor · 1 year ago

wow, those are some complicated rules. I do like the blog though, especially since I am an accountant myself..

Four Pillars · 1 year ago

Ok, I think I've figured it out.

1=Getting Things Done
2= Zen To Done
3=Your Money or Your Life
4= The Greatest Salesman in the World
5= X Marks The Spot


Also - write about whatever you want.

Brett @ Personal Loan Portfoli · 1 year ago

My preference would be:
Getting Things Done
Zen to Done
Xmarks the spot
Greatest Salesman
Money or your life
