Jacob at My Personal Finance Journey just emailed to say the blog is hosting this year’s Tour de Personal Finance! He asks PF bloggers to send in their best post of the past year.
As many of you may know, Jacob is a strong believer in charitable giving. He’s reserving 10% of his blog income for June and July (and this is a guy who actually has a blog income) as prize money and as a donation to the winner’s charity of choice. So as you can see, this competition is a worthy cause.
Well, heck. I don’t know which was Funny’s best post over the past 12 months. How about you tell me?
What do you think is the best post that’s appeared in these precincts of late? In case, like me, you can’t remember that far back, here are my own candidates:
Debt Consolidation: Proceed with Caution
Higher Education in America: A Modest Proposal
Opportunity Cost/Hassle Cost
Codeine Cough Medicine… Where’s Our Common Sense Gone?
Springtime, the Very Pretty Burglar Time
Entrepreneurs: Crystal Stemberger’s Blogging Empire
WTF Is In Your Food?
Which of these do you think, dear reader, is most likely to hold its own in the hot competition that is the Tour de Personal Finance? Or do you have a better candidate? Please let me know, one way or the other, in the comments below.
To get in Jacob’s spirit, if our nominated post winds the Yellow Jersey, I will donate my part of the prize winnings to Habitat for Humanity, as well as designating the part offered for the winner’s charity to go to the All Saints choir.
Deadline is June 24. But last year a lot of people participated, so if any of the posts above (or elsewhere) look like likely candidates, we should move fast.
Tell me your choice, and I’ll send the consensus winner to Jacob ASAP.

I vote for “Codeine Cough Medicine…” I encountered a similar issue when I attempted to purchase Mucinex D (pseudoephedrine) for sinus congestion, over the counter!
I find every one of your posts very interesting. I would vote for “WTF is in Your Food” because that is a topic of extreme interest to me. And I enjoy every once in a while when you share a recipe (like your chicken stock.)
I vote for Springtime. It’s something many of us worry about, and you give some excellent pointers on how to protect ourselves.
Very cool idea! Thanks so much for support of the Tour!! 🙂
