Personal Dividends

This is the first ever contest at Personal Dividends and probably not the last . One lucky winner will get a brand new copy of the book The Cure for Money Madness by Spencer Sherman. If you would like to know more about the book or Spencer, you can read all about it in the interview we conducted a while back right here. In short, Spencer talks about the reasons why even the smartest among us make irrational money decisions and how to overcome this affliction. The book clearly resonated with me and I believe should be a must have book on any one’s bookshelf.

Contest rules are very simple. All you have to do is to subscribe to the weekly email newsletter before November 15, 2009. The newsletter is free to subscribe and can be done from the subscription form from any page of this site (top right sidebar).
