Get Healthy, Win Money!

After experiencing the pitfalls of the current economy, New York Times columnist Ron Lieber was left with an extra week and a half worth of "vacation" to compensate for financial difficulties at the famed publication. But rather than lazing around during the dog days of summer, Mr. Lieber decided to stop putting off money related tasks and create a fiscal health day. 

Now we love the coverage, but what we really loved is the lesson shared. There is so much we can do everyday to make our lives better from an economic point of view, and we encourage you to follow in Mr. Lieber's footsteps, creating your own financial health day. Figure out where you can pinch pennies, how you can save more and guarantee overall better fiscal fitness. Be it finally balancing the checkbook, organizing the bank statements, cutting back on the things you don't need, freezing your credit cards or starting a high interest bearing SmartyPig account like Mr. Lieber did, creating a day for getting your finances in order is a step in the right direction.

Another step in the right direction? Letting us pay you for your ideas!

Tell us what YOU would do to improve your finances on your very own fiscal health day by leaving a comment below. We'll randomly select 3 entries and send those chosen, a $100, $50 or $25 SmartyPig gift card in the order in which they were drawn.

Post time ends on Monday, July 13th at 3pm CST. We're looking forward to hearing all of the creative ways you're improving your fiscal health.

Good luck!
