My briefcase collection needs some serious work, but hey: if you’re not professional, why not at least look it?

I’m supposedly to receive a copy of the book as well, but maybe the marketing company saw my absolutely scathing review of Douglas Andrew’s Missed Fortune 101, and decided that I would be less than complimentary of LCM. No other post on my blog has so many comments — almost 200!

Anyway, thanks for running the contest!

Hey Lazy, I came upon your site through your postings about prosper.com and have come back religiously since. Thanks for diligently writing, it has helped me with my financial plan. I should win because I love reading all things financial and the book will not go to waste!

I’m so lazy I had my wife type this!
“Yea, and his IOU list to me (wife/slave) would break the Nations Debt Records!”
I also am stingy, I keep records of my kids allowance, THEY WILL PAY ME BACK WITH INTEREST, I should know they sign an agreement every week!
I should win so I can bore my friends silly by bragging about it at work from now till the end of time..yea you know the type.
Anonymity…what’s that?? Have you been living in the dark ages. They are monitoring your telephone calls and everything you do on the computer!! They probably know How Many Time a Week My Wife Gets A Headache (coincidentally her migrane kicks in at bedtime tee-hee me).

Frugal tip: buying really good chocolate (preferably in bulk) and just eating a little, at a set time every day, is better for your body and better for your wallet than loading up on mass-market candy bars at the supermarket or gas station

How exciting! Please count me in.

I hope this makes you laugh:

A letter from a college student

Two muffins are in a hot oven, a few minutes from being fully baked.

The first muffin looks around, notices his neighbor, sees the glowing metal inside the oven, and remarks to his neighbor, “Kinda warm in here, isn’t it?”

The other muffin turns and exclaims, “Oh my god, a talking muffin!”

I’d like to enter your contest twice with this one entry. If I can manage to type one hundred words about you on my blog, then that’ll be an added bonus for us all, although I’m pretty sure nobody actually reads my blog.

My wife would probably be encouraged by my winning of the book, because it hopefully will give us a warm fuzzy that we’re on the right track for our retirement savings.

The blog I write is mostly about me keeping track of my fuel economy. I drive a Toyoya Corolla, and although I think it’s a nice car, most people see it as just basic transportation. It’s no hybrid, but it averages over 37 miles per gallon for me, which I believe is better than many “hybrids.”

I also painstakingly track my commuting time on my trip home from work, and have established that Tuesdays are my fastest trip home, followed by Wednesdays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Sadly, I have not yet made any correlations as to the time I leave to go home and the time it takes me to get home. But days of the week count.

Here’s my attempt to make you laugh and get another entry:

What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?
Time to buy a new fence!

What time is it when an elephant sits on your car?
Time to buy a new car!

What time is it when an elephant sits in your chair?
Time to get a new chair!

Please check out my puny blog to see if I got up the gumption to write 100 words about you.

I should win. No specific reason, I just…should. Kind of like your blog. It’s awesome, no specific reason, it just is. Also, I could use a new briefcase.

I think I would make a great cantidate to win your contest. You see, I’ve never been one to request charity. Even after I lost my leg in an freak accident with a nerf football, I never asked for the ball back. When I lost my right eye sleeping on an air-matress, I didn’t even bother to mail-in the rebate I obtained with its purchase. No, I’ve never been one to ask for a hand-out. I believe in a hand-up. So if I receive the grand prize, I will consider it an investment in me. I plan on setting up a chocolate pudding franchise. If I win, expect to see Puddin’s Perfect Pudding on every street corner. It will be a great day, as I am able to feed orphans, dolphins, and puppy dogs. I will be able to fight for world peace, one desert at a time.

My 18 year old son recently died and at the funeral I had journals that asked people to write something they remember about my son. One girl wrote that the first time she met my son he had come up to the group of friends she was with. He introduced himself and asked her name. She told him. He then noticed the strawberry shortcake t shirt she was wearing and asked if it was a scratch and sniff one.

Sure I would like to win who wouldn’t.
