This past week we held a giveaway for a free copy of You Need a Budget 3, which is one of the more popular budgeting software programs currently available. YNAB 3 was recently released and features quite a few enhancements over the previous versions, including enhanced reporting and graphics, an easier to use interface, and the ability to track other assets such as investments. It also runs on Adobe Air, which means it can run on PCs, Macs, and Linux machines. Read a full You Need a Budget 3 review for more information.
You Need a Budget 3 winner
To be eligible, readers had to leave a comment about a topic they would like to see featured here on Cash Money Life. The feedback is helpful to me, and I appreciate everyone chiming in. I will try to cover most topics over the coming weeks, but there are a couple more advanced topics that I will need to leave to the experts.
By far, the most common request was for budgeting and communication, so I will take a look at how to incorporate this into a series of articles about money management, budgeting, and communication. If there are other topics you would like to see here on Cash Money Life, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or contact me. My goal is to help you better manage your money and I will do what I can to help you achieve your financial goals.
And the winner is… The winner was randomly selected from all eligible entries using the random list generator from Random.org. The winning comment was left by Dante. Congratulations, Dante! I will put you in contact with the folks at YNAB, who graciously sponsored this giveaway.
Tax software giveaway coming soon
I will be giving away some tax software in the near future. Reader feedback has been helpful, so I will most likely use the same rules for the giveaway – leave a topic or topics you would like to see covered on Cash Money Life. In the meantime, check out the recent review of H&R Block At Home (formerly TaxCut). I will try to get a review of TurboTax written soon, so you can compare between the two most popular online tax software programs.
