Without further a due, let’s continue on with the 11th Stage (the second Stage of the 3rd round of competition) of the 2011 My Personal Finance Journey Tour de Personal Finance (to follow all of the action, click on the Tour de Personal Finance category link and scroll down to read all the posts involved in this subject).
Also, if applicable, I will give a brief description of the stage of the Tour de France that took place the same day as the competition.
How to Vote
You can vote for the one article in this case since there is only one contest (one from each intermediate sprint) you’d like to see proceed in the Tour by commenting in the comments section below and telling which are your favorites.
I’ve listed a keyword after each post title to make it easy to vote (as a made-up example, you can just comment: Sprint 1: Mutual; Sprint 2: 401k, etc.) Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two! Criteria for the best article is completely up to you, but you can use these factors as a guide: 1) post of your favorite blogger, 2) most interesting post, 3) most thought-provoking post, 4) most unique post, or 5) most actionable post.
Here is today’s competition:
- This isn’t your grandparents’ recession (Grandparents):
Ever since the recession began I think there’s WAY too much blaming of the victims. I’m good and sick of hearing pundits grumble about how lazy and soft Americans have become, and how we ought to take a few lessons from the Great Depression. Here’s the thing: The world was a different place back then. Heaven knows I’m no apologist for slackers, credit-card spendthrifts or people who won’t take anything but the “right” job, but a lot of the advice our elders offered/modeled isn’t relevant today. Plenty of folks are in big trouble not because they’re lazy, but because of complex personal, local, national and global economic issues.
- The Greatest Impact On My Finances And My Best Financial Tool (Tool): I’ve got a financial tool that not only will help me build wealth but makes me a better person as well. Interested to see what I’m talking about? Read on to find out more.

Here is today’s competition:
- THE Top 10 Bad Financial Lists (Lists): I grow weary and tired of bloggers putting out Top 5, 10, and 20 lists of various financial things that would make our lives better. So, I have devised a most nefarious, ugly, and downright useless list of financial lists (there is the twist) that could ever be published and still be labeled as SFW (Suitable for Work). Careful reading this, you may find yourself suddenly wanting to write a similar list mocking other bloggers.
- 24 Home-Based Business Ideas (Ideas): This article lists 24 opportunities that we can take advantage of from home to start making some extra income with a home-based business.

Here is today’s 3rd competition:
- Bicycle In The City (Bicycle): This article was produced out of both frustration at city traffic congestion, and with optimism for real alternatives to the car. Cars are stressful, from financing the purchase to filling the tank. There must be a better way. Cities that integrate the bicycle and support carless lifestyles are the way forward.
- Gratitude: The Key to Happiness (Key): There was a quote I heard as a young girl that I have never forgotten. “If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you’, that would suffice.”- Meister Eckhart. It’s amazing how one simple, easy, positive action can change so much in a person’s life. One of the things that has had the biggest effect on my life is the realization of the power of gratitude. Simply giving thanks. It has affected everything. It has made me a more positive person; A more productive person; A better achiever; A better wife, daughter, and sister; A happier person. I’m still not perfect, but gratitude has made me better for everything and everyone. Can it change your life as well? I can guarantee it!

Here are today’s first two competitions:

Nikki Holloway, a Canadian mother from Arrowwood, AB, who feeds 6 on roughly $200/week, has provided her top 11 tips to putting the money back in your bank account and not on your plate.
- People Who Don’t Have Cable Are Better In Every Way, Say Those Without Cable (Cable): People who have given up cable are a special kind of annoying. They look down on those of us who choose to watch TV as some sort of sewer creature. Are they really so much better than us time wasters? You’ll probably not want to click through if you’ve dropped cable…
- Not So Extreme Couponing: Couponing for the Rest of Us (Couponing): The Extreme Couponing show on TLC may be entertaining to watch, but it’s not very practical or appealing for most of us. Here’s how the rest of us can save big money with couponing without using extreme couponing tactics.

- This isn’t your grandparents’ recession (Grandparents): Ever since the recession began I think there’s WAY too much blaming of the victims.

Plenty of folks are in big trouble not because they’re lazy, but because of complex personal, local, national and global economic issues.
- An Argument for Privatizing Social Security (Argument): Just as our country’s finances reach a critical point, Social Security is set to start failing. Social Security makes up 1/5 of our federal budget and is facing a huge deficit if changes aren’t made quickly. This article argues that privatizing Social Security could be a permanent and sustainable solution.
- Will You Be Able to Retire on $1 Million? (Retire) Inflation is eroding the value of that $1 million nest egg; as the years march forward, there is a very real possibility that you will need much more than a $1 million nest egg to live the lifestyle you want. Here’s what you can do to stretch your nest egg further — even if you don’t have $1 million to retire on.
A fairly new rider (to my knowledge), Rui Costa, won the stage in dramatic solo fashion! I’m looking forward to the coming days of racing when the mountain-top finishes come!

Also, if applicable, I will give a brief description of the stage of the Tour de France that took place the same day as the competition.

Here are today’s competitions (there are 3 because we needed to get the 1st round done in a timely manner! So, be sure to vote for all 3 face-offs):
- Can You Make Money and a Difference With Social Impact Bonds? (Bonds): My article explains social impact bonds, a means of investing money with individuals who are trying to accomplish some social good (decreasing recidivism of ex-convicts is a popular one). Investors contribute money that is used to meet these goals, and if the goal is met, the government pays back the money (with interest); if not, the government owes nothing. These bonds have the potential to alter both how governments fund many of their programs and how charitable individuals spend their charitable contributions. These bonds could be the future of investing and charitable giving, all in one package.
- How to feed a family of 6 on roughly $200 per week (Family): Groceries account for one of the highest household expenses. However, it is also a variable cost that we can all budget for. Nikki Holloway, a Canadian mother from Arrowwood, AB, who feeds 6 on roughly $200/week, has provided her top 11 tips to putting the money back in your bank account and not on your plate.

They look down on those of us who choose to watch TV as some sort of sewer creature. Are they really so much better than us time wasters? You’ll probably not want to click through if you’ve dropped cable…
- Shepherd And Sheep herder, Story About Your Money (Sheep): This is an inspiring blog post which urges people to take charge of their money matters. The example is drawn from a story of shepherds and sheep herders. A shepherd manages each of his sheep individually with care, where as a sheep herder manages them as a group, without individual attention. The blog post emphasizes the need of being a Shepherd on money matters in order to become aware of every single dollar, including how a dollar is being earned, how a dollar is spent and invested, and how much return is realized.
- Why You Should Donate More Money to Charity (Donate): There are so many reasons people do not give to charity. We’d rather keep the money to ourselves, it requires action, and it won’t have any effect are just a few. This year, we should be donating more than ever, and here are 8 compelling reasons why.
- Not So Extreme Couponing: Couponing for the Rest of Us (Couponing): The Extreme Couponing show on TLC may be entertaining to watch, but it’s not very practical or appealing for most of us. Here’s how the rest of us can save big money with couponing without using extreme couponing tactics.
It was a fairly flat but windy/rainy day with several crashes occurring. It ended with a bunch sprint, and the Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen won the stage. Thor Hushovd held took 3rd place on the Stage to keep his overall yellow jersey.
Most all of the contenders for overall victory at the end of the 3 week bike race finished safely in the peleton. They are most likely awaiting a big show-down in the 1st mountain stages!

Here are today’s competitions:
- Four Ways to Make Money in Real Estate (Four): Despite the bursting of the real estate bubble, there is still an opportunity to profit from real estate provided you have an exit strategy in mind prior to purchase. There are four ways to make money in real estate. Maximizing the potential of these four real estate profit centers can help any investor make the most out of any purchase.
- Getting Stated With Your Money Idea (Idea): Don’t know where to start or how to promote yourself? This article gives you the starting steps as well as a stack of ways to advertise and promote for free or very cheap. It is also an excerpt of my book 365 Ways To Make Money.
- Why Pursue a Side Business When You Already Have a Successful Career? (Business): The majority of individuals are oblivious to what their true tax expense is. It is our biggest expense, more than food, clothing and shelter. This post emphasizes the crux of my blog and explains why everyone should have a side gig to maximize financial abundance and get ahead in life.
-
Bicycle In The City (Bicycle): This article was produced out of both frustration at city traffic congestion, and with optimism for real alternatives to the car. Cars are stressful, from financing the purchase to filling the tank. There must be a better way. Cities that integrate the bicycle and support carless lifestyles are the way forward.
The race ended with a bunch finish, with all of the contenders for overall victory finishing safely in the pack. My favorite (and probably the best) sprinter in the world, Mark Cavendish, won the Stage is stoic fashion!
