Since this website is about working towards financial freedom by following your passions, I wanted to have a prize that would be practical for Couple Money readers and help them on their own journey.

Giving Away a Netbook!

As we did last year, Couple Money is giving away a netbook!

However you use, I hope it's beneficial for your family and your finances.
