Hmm. I think I’d be interested in the Zen book.

Just a thought – maybe hook up an Amazon aStore and list these books? This way, blog visitors who don’t win the book could easily click and buy, and you could get a small commission (it’s the same cost to them, Amazon just gives you a piece of the pie).

Here’s my comment to win a book.

Based entirely on the title I’m going to go with ’48 Days to Work You Love’.

Reentering again. Once again in the hopes of gaining Seven Stages Of Money Maturity by George Kinder.

I just want to say that you are gonna love Cairns! I am a Cairns gal and miss it something chronical at times. I now reside in Perth:) Make sure you go to Fitzroy Island instead of Green Island if you get the chance and Palm Cove is one of the nicest beaches there. Also visit Crystal Cascades – it is just beautiful. I havn’t been to Cairns since 1998, but am sure that there aren’t too many changes:)

Kudos to you guys for going frugal and living your dreams. I would love to do that, but hubby isn’t convinced on any of it – so I would love to win one of your books as it may sway my hubby somewhat:) Thanks for the chance. Enjoy your adventures in Oz and if you are ever in Perth you and your family would be so welcome at our house:) Cheers, Courtney.

Hey – I just started reading your blog this week and I love it – almost as much as I love free books!

:-D

I’d love the Zen Book Baker.

I started “project get out of debt” a year ago and I was committed and energized. I came up with some fun and not so fun rules for myself to save money that really opened my world and engaged me in new experiences without spending money. For example, instead of going to the book store like I use to EVERY weekend, I spent the last year reading only books that I could borrow from people whom I know and friends. With keeping with this rule and what I learned, people love sharing books they’ve read with you and as a result, I started reading books I NEVER would have read myself, forcing me to read outside my comfort zone all while not spending money on books!

But for some strange reasons, I am on the last home stretch of getting out of debt and I am not as inspired or motivated at the end as I was in the beginning. I thought I would be more aggressive at the end? One theory, I’m lacking the mental energy to keep focused as I’ve been eating nothing but Foturkey Sandwiches from Trader Joe for almost a year?? LOL.

With that all said, I think the Zen book would help inspire me to finish, Plus, you would save me from battling the temptation of breaking my personal rule and purchasing the book myself!!!! Eek!

I appreciate the emphasis of this blog to eliminate debt. America has needed this for a long time. If perchance I would win the drawing I would like: 48 Days To The Work You Love by Dan Miller

Prince of Thrift May 4, 2009 at 9:20 PM

48 days to the work you love (by Dan Miller) still looks very interesting. Here’s praying to it happens this time.

Like the site and your style of writing. Just came across it from listening to a podcast.

gavin May 5, 2009 at 6:04 AM

Zen and the Art of Making a Living – caught my eye and I’d love to get a copy of that.

Congratulations on the success of this blog so far as well!

Ian May 5, 2009 at 11:13 AM

I’ve read Your Money or Your Life. Excellent book. I highly recommend it.

I would like a copy of Zen and the Art of Making a Living if I am selected as a winner. It’s on my Amazon Wish List already, so it would be a treat to get simply for being a dedicated reader and RSS subscriber to your site.

I can’t remember how I found your site initially, but I am really enjoying the articles and your writing style. Be well.

jim May 7, 2009 at 10:25 AM

Winner winner chicken dinner!

I’d love to check out Zen.

That One Caveman May 7, 2009 at 10:29 AM

Wow. Can’t decide between Zen and The Work You Love. Both could help me at this point!

I wouldn’t mind winning one of those books. I have also started following you on Twitter.

I actually resisted joining until today. I guess the peer pressure was too much for me :)

I also couldn’t resist the pressure to join up and post here. And if I should get picked for a book it should be the zen book since the letter Z is a huge part of my life or the idiots book cuz frankly when it comes to finance well enough said!
