Guess What? I won a contest!

December 12th, 2013 at 11:04 pm

Hey, guess what? I won a contest!

Maybe a month ago I came across a personal finance site I hadn't seen before....wethesavers.com. It's a website created by Capital One credit cards. They feature a monthly essay contest with a different finance-related question each month.

The question for the month of November was, when do you plan to retire (at what age) and how will you get there?

So I wrote something up....nothing really new to you guys since I post about my post-2009 circumstances all the time.... but I won the November contest! I get $100 and my post will be published on their site. I just had to fill out a bunch of paperwork giving them permission to do so. It'll be first name only and I prefer no picture, which I think is ok since I've seen earlier winners do it the same way.

It's funny, because I was just thinking about that contest yesterday, and in fact I went to the site to see if they had announced a winner yet, and I saw they hadn't.

I love earning money!

    Congrats (and, no surprise)! Can you post a link to the winning essay? I looked on their website and searching for "essay" or "contest" doesn't yield anything.
