The hot new contest in town is the new Free Money Finance’s March Madness Giveaway Sweepstakes. Just kidding — Free Money Finance is hosting a posting competition where he’s accepting entries on the topic of personal finance, pitting them against each other and having the winner receive some cool prizes. The commenters who will help determine that winner will also get a chance to win something as well, based on the rules and details FMF spells forth here. This should be exciting as there’s a pretty strong turnout for this contest in the financial blogosphere.

I have submitted the maximum 4 entries per blogger for this contest. And they’ve made the initial cut! Now we’ll have to see how they fare among the readers. Here were my submissions:
