Welcome to the biggest giveaway in Thousandaire history!
I am giving away $683.90 worth of prizes today to thank you all for being such great readers and video watchers.
And speaking of videos, have you seen “Haven’t Made a Budget”? Someone reminded me this past weekend how talented and downright sexy the chick was in that video. If you haven’t seen the video yet, make sure to check it out. If you’ve already seen it, I suggest you watch it again and pay attention to how awesome the female lead was.
Now onto the HUGE giveaway. The last time I ran a giveaway, I had one big prize of $225. It was great to give that much money to one person, but I felt bad for all the other people who left with nothing. This time, you have 12 chances to win! I’m giving away four big prizes, and some awesome PF bloggers have stepped up to sponsor the giveaway and add to the haul. Here are the prizes:
Thousandaire Giveaway Prizes

Last time, a lot of people did the facebook status wrong. Your status MUST point to my FB page, which means you have to like my page first, and then start typing”@thousand…” and select my page. Once my page is selected, you have to copy in the rest of the phrase. If you do it wrong, your entries will not be counted. Here’s a picture of what you have to do:
