    Just discovered your blog and love it! Finance is such a tricky subject…especially for newlyweds. My husband and I are trying to learn as much as possible so that, as a team, we can have a brighter financial future.

  2. Claudia says

    I’ve been reading your financial advice for years. You are awesome, Liz! Thanks for watching out for regular folks.

  4. Julie W says

    I love your articles. I have learned finances the hard way with an unsupportive spouse. Now an ex spouse and only one child left at home, finally able to do get out of debt and save the correct way

  6. Jeff A says

    Focused on financial recovery after my wife stayed home raising our two beautiful daughters. Save, pay debt, rinse and repeat!

  11. Melissa Johnson says

    Starting over after divorce is hard. Learning everything I can about finance so I can make the best of my future!

  14. Shirlee says

    It is always a blessing to continue to learn to be a good steward of the finances that have been given to me. Always more to learn.

  20. Jackie says

    I must admit, you are “new” to me, but it seems you may have come just in time.

    We’ve lived a great life with the motto, “you can’t take it with you when you die.” Now we’ve just hit our 50’s as healthy, active adults and we’re a little nervous that, if we live another 30 to 40 years, will we have enough money to get us through? We are rethinking our motto and need to “learn” how to revamp our finances. Your books would certainly provide the foundation that we need. And maybe we’ll discover a new motto too!!

  22. Kymber says

    working on getting out of debt after losing a business and our home…any additional help to get us there would be great to have…

  27. Debbie Morgan says

    Sorry my comment posted before I was done. You have a lot of great information and I enjoy reading it.

  39. Michele Kirkpatrick says

    Working hard to be/stay financially free! I don’t know much about credit scores and would love to learn more.

  40. lisa m. jones (@TexanChef43) says

    i need this. at age 3 i totally made a career change and rebooted my life. my boyfriend was the sole person who supported me 1000%. i am almost done with this program (culinary school) and we’ve decided to stick together and be THE ONE for each other. we’ve never been more solid. i’m blissfully lucky and think what we have is one of my greatest blessings. again, he’s the only one (my family doesn’t care/help/support) who had kept me from being homeless (literally, i swear) twice since being laidoff in 2009 from my last ‘real job’ so for me it’s about realizing i am now 44, and he is 47. we finally need to grow up, build a nest egg. finally i feel the time has come to be with the love of my life and take that next step of getting out of debt. thanks for reading my post. namaste. :o)

  41. lisa m. jones (@TexanChef43) says

    yikes, just saw a typo in the first line. i meant when i was age FORTY-THREE (not 3!) that i made a career change. sorry!

  48. Cheryl Horn says

  57. Barbara A says

    Thanks Liz! I am a huge fan! I read your article back in ’07 about 4 Real Jobs You Can Do From Home on MSN. Now, I have a virtual call center from my home and have been working it for about 5 years now. It’s great!

    Hi, Liz I read your articles on MSN all the time. I’m hoping to get lucky and win the books. We are completely overhauling our finances right now.

    Recent post of free FAFSA help information on
    Edvisors.com was extremely helpful 🙂

  84. Denise Craig says

    I heard of your blog through Mary Hunt, another financial life-changer! I would enjoy reading some of your books.

  85. Lisa says

    I just found your blog and am looking forward to reading your posts and passing them on to my college aged son. He’s going into a field that he loves, but he will need to be really smart about money from the start.

  87. Katy says

    I am a big fan and hope I win one of your books! I learned finances the hard way and embraced frugality a long time ago. However, life events ( moving, divorce) have set me back and I am energized to restore some financial harmony to my life!

    I’ve been following you for a while; you always give such great advice! I’d love to get a free copy!

    Donna Freedman talks about you all the time. I would love to read your advice as I am thinking of retiring very soon – sooner than originally planned.

  96. Kate says

    I could certainly use some advice. I’m in the process of getting my finances in order. Time to get out of debt so bad economies won’t affect me as much.

  99. Jaime says

    I hope I win! I love your columns and I’ve read earlier books. If I win, I’m going to read it and then share it with my friends – one of whom is also a Pulliam. We tease that you’re cousins. 😉

  101. Sue says

    It’s been a long winter and I’d love to have some encouragement to kind of spring-clean my finances!

  103. Vonnie Arellano says

    I was referred to your site, and I think you are exactly right – your books would be an awesome graduation gift for my son, who is graduating college in a couple of months.

  104. Bonita Kale says

    Liked the “Five Biggest Mistakes” article you recommended. My husband and I have made good and bad decisions over the years, but the #1 best decision we made was to buy less house than the bank thought we could afford. It was enough house for us, and the taxes and upkeep cost all we want to spend. Now it’s mortgage-free, which is such a comfort.

  105. Jeannette says

    Love all the helpful advice and guidance that you have provided me over the years; I always refer to you for everything finance related!!! I would love to have one of your books! Thanks.

  106. Sandra says

    I would love to win these books. Facing retirement soon with not enough savings. This could only help.Thanks!

  109. Mary E. says

    My library doesn’t carry your books so I would love to win this prize. Where should we invest our little bit of surplus once we’re retired (very soon)?

  116. Barbara Stevens says

    Have read your columns for a number of years, thanks for all your efforts to make investing adn finance a little more understandable!

  118. Rhonda Roberts says

    Newly divorced and trying to manage it all on my own. Would love to read your books! Everything of yours that I have ever read has always been down-to-earth advice and very helpful!

  119. Cathy in NJ says

    I would love to win these books for my daughter (15) so she can start her financial life off the best way.

  124. Steven says

    Liz,
    Thanks for all of your helpful advice over the years and for answering a few of my questions. I’m a better money manager for it!

  125. Danielle says

    Liz,
    I have really enjoyed your columns through the years. “The Real Reason You’re Broke” is something I read and re-read whenever I was tempted to purchase another car before I was ready. Would love to read your books then gift them to friend. Thanks for all your great advice!

  126. Lindsay Jones says

    You know you’re growing up when you find yourself ‘liking’ Liz Weston’s page on facebook and actually reading her posts more often than you check out the retail pages you’ve liked. In fact, the more I read your posts, the more retail pages I “unlike”.

  129. Becky says

    Years ago when I first started my career a financial advisor recommended reading one financial article a day. I found your articles online and I’ve been reading them ever since! I would love an opportunity to read your books.

  134. Abe says

    I really enjoy and like your posts and Facebook page and look forward to reading your books.
    Thanks for your service.

  135. Gail Kimball says

    We are IN retirement and I find most suggestions and tips are for getting here! I would like to know why once one is retired it is not suggested to pay off a mortgage if funds are available. Is it because it is better to stay liquid with those required funds?

    Would very much like to receive your book “Ten Commandments of Money”. You give great advice.

  136. Anneliese C says

    Liz, I am not writing to win, but because I think others might be reading comments before posting, and I want to put in a good word for you. I have always liked your writing, and your advice always meets people where they *are*, instead of taking a “savvier than thou” approach. You really understand where the average person is coming from, but at the same time, you make no excuses for delivering no-nonsense advice (even tough love) when the situation calls for it. I hope whoever wins is just as inspired as I have been. Thanks for all you do! ~ Anneliese 🙂

  137. zzye says

    Just discovered your blog and I read your articles daily . Liked your page that way I dont miss anything.I have also suggested your page to friends. I would love to be the lucky one to win your books 🙂

  138. Kelly Anderson says

    I love the simplicity of your articles. You make the world of finances more approachable. I love to get in-depth explanations, too, but sometimes what I need is a quick answer. I’d love to go a bit further with the books!

  139. Michael says

    This would be a great set of books to have as my partner and I are finally getting our financial house in order!

  145. David B says

    Financial Literacy is a wonderful thing, I love learning as much as I can so it shows up in my actions and so I can pass it along to the students who I talk to on a daily basis.
