It’s now December, and Christmas is slowly drawing nearer. A holiday spirit is starting to fill the air, and it will soon be the holidays.
I have personally just finished my last exam, so I feel more relaxed than I did last week! I will have vacations from work starting in two weeks, and then I will have downtime until the end of the month when everything will start up again in January.
To celebrate the holidays, Invest It Wisely is running a holiday giveaway, with $300 in prizes to be given away! Not everyone can enjoy the holidays equally, so this will be a special giveaway, with half of the prizes to be donated to the Canadian charity of the winner’s choice.
I’d also like to give back to the readers, so here is your chance to enter and win a great prize, while helping your favourite cause along the way. One of my greatest motivations in blogging is the wonderful feedback and the great comments that I receive from all of you, each and every day. They really lift up my day, even if I don’t respond right away. 😉
I’d also like to give a special thanks to the following great fellow bloggers and friends, whom are kindly sponsoring this giveaway:
Thanks for supporting the giveaway, guys!
Here are the prizes:
- $200 ($100 to the winner via PayPal / $100 to the Canadian charity of their choice) courtesy of Invest It Wisely
- $50 ($25 to the winner via PayPal / $25 to the Canadian charity of their choice) courtesy of Beating the Index
- $50 ($25 to the winner via PayPal / $25 to the Canadian charity of their choice) courtesy of Sustainable Personal Finance
There is also a Yakezie Holiday Giveaway that I am also taking part in. This is a great initiative by fellow Yakezie bloggers, with over $500 in prizes to be given away!
Merry Christmas, everyone! The giveaway is now over. Congratulations to the winners:
- Michelle S.
- My Own Advisor
- Patrick F.

December 20, 2011 at 9:26 amI like your post on “The nine rules of wealth you should have learned in school”. I am looking forward information on earning money when you’re just a teenager. 🙂

December 20, 2011 at 11:14 am@Marinella Rose I like this idea! I’ll get started on this very soon. 🙂

December 22, 2011 at 11:40 amI enjoyed the post “What Do You Need to Get out of the Rat Race and Achieve Financial Freedom?” Like the article mentions, we are too, stuck in the rat race. Only my husband’s is 7-3:30 and it takes up to an hour to get there – itr’s shift work as well. If only it was a 9-5. Nevertheless, he would love to get out, it’s just the most secure right now and like in the article, security, even some, is priceless these days.
InvestItWisely says
December 25, 2011 at 10:27 am@abrennan09 Oof that is even tougher than a 9 to 5 in some ways. Yep, it is definitely about the security vs. flexibility tradeoff. Only with financial independence can you have a decent shot at both.
