Just kidding. That would be crazy - what if I sent the wrong email to thousands of people because I had my eyes closed?
I'd get fired from my job for doing that (if I had a real job).
But I will say this...
... I was nervous to send this email today. Just a little... it'll go out to over 50K+...
Why?
Well... today's article subject is a little controversial, which is weird, because it totally shouldn't be.
It's about two different and awesome ways to pay off debt, after all.
Debt Snowball vs. Debt Avalanche
*ducks for cover*
Alright alright, I'm just kidding. It's really not that controversial.
But I've noticed over the years that people tend to get really passionate about one or the other.
What I mean to say is that Dave Ramsey fans usually like the snowball and people who don't agree with Dave tend to favor the avalanche.
However, in my humble ever lovin' money blogger opinion... they're both awesome.
I think any time you can find a strategy to pay off debt that works for you, it's a huge win.
BTW, if you're totally new to paying off debt... you're probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about.
Should we really be using obscure cold weather references to talk about paying off debt?
Doesn't everyone like snowballs? Doesn't everyone literally hate avalanches? (They're scary)
The answers are all yes.
But that doesn't mean that both of these strategies are a yes for you.
(I'm so so sorry - that was super corny but I haven't had coffee yet don't judge me).

P.S. - Do you think that Dave can sense when people are talking about the debt snowball? I'm just imagining him waking up from a deep sleep like: "*GASP*... someone named millennial money boy sent an email about the snowball. I need to block him on Twitter."
P.P.S. - Don't worry, I'm getting coffee now. Hope you have a great day.

Hey. You. Yes you.
You like the idea of investing... right?
... and... you also like free stuff too... right?
I know I do. Especially when it's like an *exclusive* free thing that's signed by the author.
Fine fine, I'll get to the point:
I'm talking about a signed investing book that I want to mail to you.
This is a book giveaway. I need you to connect the dots faster and keep up with me because I've had a lot of coffee today.
Here's the deal:
My really, REALLY good friend and author Erin Lowry of Broke Millennial has given me five signed copies of her newest book, Broke Millennial Takes on Investing: A Beginner's Guide to Leveling Up Your Money.
(!!!)
She's one of my favorite people ever, and her site actually inspired me to start M$M. Pretty cool, right?
So with that said, I know that you want me to mail you this book. I can see it in your eyes right now.
^^^ That's me peering into your soul because I know you want an author-signed copy of Erin's book. Don't you lie to me. Or yourself.
On Friday, April 19th at 8:00 AM-ish (really whenever I decide to get up and start working if we're being fully transparent here), I'm going to select 5 beautiful M$M readers and send them a signed copy. It's a random draw, and wow yes, I'm covering shipping. I'm not that cheap and I'm slightly offended that you even wondered about the shipping charge.
Here's how you enter the book giveaway (read carefully because I know you're probably on your lunch break right now at work):
Step 1: You need to buy a copy of Erin's book. Here's a link to the book on Amazon, but you can buy it wherever you like to buy books. I'm just trying to make your life easier because Amazon is taking over the world and they have everything.
Step 2: Email me a copy of your receipt as proof that you purchased the book
Step 3: Be patient and wait until I announce the winners on Friday
Step 4: I will personally write a cool message (probably a corny dad joke if we're being honest) in your copy as well. So you'll have a book signed by TWO people. So boujee.
Step 5: I'll mail the book to you, and you can gift the copy you bought to someone else to spread the message of financial literacy. Or keep both books, but that's a little selfish and honestly, who needs two copies of the same book?
That's it!
Now keep reading if you want extra stuff...
Because Erin is awesome, she's giving away even more free stuff. Namely... a FREE copy of her "30-Day Rookie Investor Action Plan".
All you have to do is send a separate email with proof of your book purchase to info@brokemillennial.com with the subject "MMM Giveaway", and she'll hook you up.
In short:
1. Buy the book
2. Reply to this email with your proof of purchase so I can enter you into the drawing for the signed copy
3. Shoot Erin a separate email with your proof of purchase if you want the free Investor Action Plan
Pretty simple!
One last thing...
Erin is now on tour in the US and Canada to promote the book, but this isn't your traditional tour! Each event features a discussion with local experts about investing. Ticketed events include a copy of the book, food and drinks, plus other fun goodies! NYC and Atlanta have already had sold out stops and next she's going to:
- Seattle - 4/25
- Portland - 4/28
- San Francisco - 4/30
- Los Angeles - 5/2
- Toronto. - 5/7
- Chicago - 5/15
SPECIAL DISCOUNT: The first five people to use code MMMFAN per event will receive $10 off tickets in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Toronto!
Those in Seattle can attend a free live taping of Erin's Beginner's Guide to Investing Your Money and/or attend the Q&A between Erin and Chelsea Fagan of The Financial Diet immediately following and in Portland there will be a presentation at Powell's!
That's it! I highly recommend that you go out and see Erin if you can make it.
Now go grab a copy of the book and reply to this email so that I can enter you into the signed copy drawing.
