Got a money question? Let the experts answer it. Four financial advisors will host a free live web chat on Kiplinger.com on Thursday, March 21.

They’ll take questions about topics such as insurance, taxes, investing for retirement and saving for college from 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern. Ask your question before or during the chat using the Kiplinger web chat link or the Kiplinger Facebook page, the NAPFA Facebook page, or the #JumpStartRetire hashtag on Twitter.

Can’t stick around for the whole rodeo? You can go back later and view a transcript.

Last month several dozen personal finance bloggers collaborated in a Valentine-themed giveaway sponsored by Rather-Be-Shopping.com, a site specializing in online coupon codes. The contest generated so much response  that site founder Kyle James decided to do it again.

This time the theme is “spring and saving money.” The prize remains the same: $500 cash via PayPal.

Thanks to a lot of support, I am currently poised to make the finals of the PF Olympics, a writing contest that’s part of the Financial Blogger Conference. But I admit it: I’m worried that some other contestants will produce a surge of late votes that knock me out of the running.

That’s where you come in — I hope.

For the second year in a row I’m speaking at the Financial Blogger Conference. This year there’s something new going on: the “PF Olympics,” a competition for the best personal finance writing.

The competition is kind of like being on “Dancing With The Stars”: It doesn’t really matter whether your footwork is as good as the other couple’s. As with just about any Internet-based contest, the determining factor is how many votes you get.

An element of skill is involved, if you get to the finals. But I’m not there yet, so once again I’m asking for your help.

If I were you, I’d let him.
