It's still Mega Swagbucks Friday and Christmas update...

I realized tonight that I never reminded you that today is Mega Swagbucks Friday and that you have the opportunity to earn larger than normal Swagucks by searching the Internet (I just won 14 for a simple search).

I was also checking to see how many $5 Amazon gift cards I have so far to use towards Christmas this year. (I'm hoping to earn enough Swagbucks this year to pay for the majority of Christmas gifts.) And I realized that Christmas is exactly 6 months from today!! Since the beginning of 2010, I have earned about $110 dollars to spend at Amazon.com-- and I have 6 months to (hopefully) double that amount!







If you're not using Swagbucks to search the Internet and you're not earning FREE money with your Internet searching, you've GOT TO Sign up HERE!!

Dave Ramsey.com: $10 books and cds


UPDATE: If you do order something, be sure to use code MORE when you’re checking out. It will automatically add a free copy of Dave Ramsey’s book More Than Enough to your order.
(thanks, Money Saving Mom)

You have to be ordering something else in order to get a copy of this book for free — but it’s a great deal if you were already planning on placing an order!

Okay, so now that you are into couponing and you are thoroughly addicted to saving money, let me introduce you to Dave Ramsey.
If you've never heard of Dave Ramsey, read his books, listened to him on the radio or on TV, but you need help with your finances and/or debt, I suggest you buy any of his books or cds for just $10 each today!
Dave Ramsey is an expert on money, budgeting, getting rid of debt, and controlling your finances. After losing his net worth of more than a million dollars due to debt, he went on a quest to learn more about how money works and along the way used his Biblically based principles of money and finances to help others!

If you are interested reading or listening to Dave Ramsey, his website is having a Summer Blast promo.
A few of his best books and cds are:
The Total Money Makeover
Financial Peace Revisited
The Great Misunderstanding 
High Performance Achievement.
