Giveaway is closed! Thank you for your interest.

The winner of the Kindle Fire is …. Nick Jarrett.

Here is a few words from Nick:

I have received my Kindle Fire, and I love it. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would buy an Ipad when you can buy a Fire for $200. Granted, I do not use it as heavily as some might, but it has been perfect for me. Some people I have let try it out have complained about the small screen size, but for me that is a bonus. I like that it is not any bigger than a book but is as powerful as an iPad. I have enjoyed the feature which allows you to download a free app from the app store every day. Also, the Kindle Lender’s Library, which allows Amazon Prime members to read certain books for free has been really nice. All things consider, I would definitely recommend a Fire to anyone.

-Nick

Thank you everyone for participating.

Other winners have been notified and received their prize.

Retire By 40 is celebrating our 1 year blog anniversary today with a great giveaway! We have teamed up with our good friend at Buck Inspire to do a joint giveaway. Our friends at the Yakezie Network also contributed many prizes for the giveaway.  Both of us started blogging last year on the same day – October 7th, what are the chances of that?

It has been a great year and I would like to thank all our readers and supporters who made Retire By 40 such a success. The one thing I learned over this past year is that a support network is priceless. I joined the Yakezie challenge right after we started and that was the best move I could have made. Whenever I have any questions, there is always someone knowledgeable to answer them. Everyone is always helpful and supportive and it would have been a much more difficult year without Yakezie.

MedicareSupplementalInsurance.com provides Medicare Supplement Quotes free!

Here is our one year stat:

182 posts (writing 3-4 times a week makes me feel like I have homework again)

42,564 visits (Holy Moly, that’s a population of a small town!)

83,252 pageviews (darn it, we didn’t hit 6 figures ;) )

Google adsense earning: February 2011 = $3.43. September 2011 = $94.57!

It’s amazing to think that I have reached so many readers. I know some blogs get 50,000 visitors per month, but I still think our one year number is quite awesome.  I can’t wait to see what next year will bring!

All right, here are what we have for our readers! The giveaway runs for a month from October 7th to November 7th. We will contact the winners a few days after November 7th and post the list of winners one week afterward on November 14th.

List of Prizes

kindle fireWin the new Kindle Fire – The new Kindle Fire looks like a great tablet for content consumption and is selling at a blistering pace of 2,000 units per hour at Amazon right now. It has a 7″ touchscreen, new Amazon Silk web browsers, email , Amazon cloud access,  and weight less than a pound. I think this will be a great device to take on a trip or on a commuter train. You must enter the contest at Retire By 40 to win this prize.

 

Win a Mango Languages Passport Bundle – sponsored by Buck Inspire.  All the fun of Mango Passport® PLUS the convenient audio versions of Mango Passport® On The Go!  Use Mango Passport® at home or on your laptop, and Mango On The Go! MP3 audio files to help you keep learning when you’re out and about.  You must visit Buck Inspire and enter there to win this prize.
