Before heading into Memorial Day weekend, why not win $100 to spend on Amazon.com? All this month, I’ve been hosting giveaways as part of a project I’m calling Giveaway May on Consumerism Commentary. Every weekday during this month, I will be giving away at least a $50 gift card, and almost every day the prizes have gone beyond that $50.
Today is no exception. My partner today is Live Real, Now, an excellent blog that focuses not only on personal finance, but on life improvement. All of us can stand to improve ourselves in some way. Ten years ago I started on a journey to fix my personal problems — my finances were only small parts of my problems. I’ve come around in a big way on the issues other than my finances, but I still have a long way to go with certain aspects of my life.
But this post isn’t about me — it’s about you, the readers. I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to communicate with Consumerism Commentary readers, this month of giveaways is my chance to give something back. So today, in addition to a $50 Amazon.com Gift Card from Consumerism Commentary, the winner will also receive a $50 Amazon.com Gift Card from Live Real, Now.
Here is what you’ll need to do by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on May 27, 2011 in order to be entered into today’s giveaway.

Thanks! Knowledge is a good thing when combined with wisdom it seems. Wow, would love to purchase some things on my wish list at Amazon!
I’ve enjoyed many of your articles about finance, especially about banks and credit unions. I just bought my wife a kindle for her 60th birthday and the Amazon gift card would be perfect to go with it. Thanks,
