Finance Gets Personal

Suze Orman is appearing on Oprah today to discuss the financial aspects of “living your best life.”

You can currently download her latest book, Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan, on Oprah.com for free.

I haven’t seen the episode yet, so I’m not sure how long it will be available, but I’d download it within the next 24-48 hours to be safe. Update: The download is available through Thursday, January 15.

There are a million reasons to vote on Tuesday, but how about a few more?

Many restaurants are having Election Day promotions, so start planning your day now. Please leave a comment if you know of any others!

• Tell Starbucks you voted, and you’ll receive a free tall coffee (this should work for absentee and early voters too!).
• At Krispy Kreme, all retail customers with an “I Voted” sticker will receive a free star-shaped doughnut with “patriotic sprinkles.”
• At Ben & Jerry’s from 5-8 p.m., voters receive a free scoop of ice cream.
• At Eat’n Park locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia from 6 a.m.-11 p.m., any voter presenting an “I Voted” sticker or a voting stub will receive a free cup of coffee (for dine-in only).
• I’m not sure if this is a local promotion or a national one, but at Chick-Fil-A, customers with an “I Voted” sticker receive a free chicken sandwich (please call first to make sure your restaurant is participating).
• At Shane’s Rib Shack, customers wearing an “I Voted Today!” sticker receive a free meal consisting of 3-piece chicken tenders, fries and a 20-oz. Coca-Cola product.
