Vote in Round 3 of LearnVest’s Own March Madness!
The competition is heating up, as LearnVesters like yourself compete for the title of “Most Inspirational Pledge.”
What is the LV Pledge, you ask? The LearnVest Pledge is a promise you make to yourself—and to the whole LV community—to take control of one aspect of your finances, or your overall approach to money. We were so impressed by the thousands of pledges we received that we wanted to share them with you. And what better way to do it than March Madness-style?
On Monday we invited you to vote in round two, to help choose which four women out of eight remaining would advance to the next round. Diamond was keen on winning the prize, using her social media chops on Twitter to garner votes, and pulling ahead of the competition. Or perhaps her pledge just spoke to more readers–we can’t know for sure.
But four clear winners emerged. And today it’s time again to vote for the reader pledge that inspires you most, and help the next four women advance.
How It Works
There are two matchups below. Vote in each to help choose two winners who will advance to the next round. Those ladies will face off again on Friday in the final round to choose the champion.
Remember, your vote will help one inspiring woman get closer to living her richest life: The ultimate winner will get a free Budgeting Plan, courtesy of LearnVest.
So, how do you get in on the fun? Read the pledges below, then scroll down to vote in each matchup. Check the site again on Wednesday to vote in the next round and come back to choose the champion on Friday.
Give us your two cents now, because voting closes tonight at midnight EST.
