Without further a due, let's continue on with the 5th?Stage?of the 2011 My Personal Finance Journey Tour de Personal Finance (to follow all of the action, click on the?Tour de Personal Finance category link?and scroll down to read all the posts involved in this subject).
Going along with Tour de France cycling tradition, I've listed each competition within each stage as an "intermediate sprint" (one post versus another) along with the description provided by the blog author when the post was submitted.

Also, if applicable, I will give a brief description of the stage of the Tour de France that took place the same day as the competition.

How?to Vote

You can vote for the?two articles (one from each intermediate sprint)?you'd like to see proceed in the Tour by commenting in the comments section below and telling which are your favorites.

I've listed a keyword after each post title to make it easy to vote (as a made-up example, you can just comment: Sprint 1: Mutual; Sprint 2: 401k, etc.)?Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two! Criteria for the best article is completely up to you, but you can use these factors as a guide: 1) post of your favorite blogger, 2) most interesting post, 3) most thought-provoking post, 4) most unique post, or 5) most actionable post.

Here are today's competitions:

Voting will continue until July 9th for this Stage!

VERSUS

• Why Pursue a Side Business When You Already Have a Successful Career??(Business): The majority of individuals are oblivious to what their true tax expense is.

• Bicycle In The City?(Bicycle):?This article was produced out of both frustration at city traffic congestion, and?with optimism for real alternatives to the car. Cars are stressful, from financing the purchase to filling the tank. There must be a better way. Cities that integrate the bicycle and support carless lifestyles are the way forward. ??

Tour de France Daily Recap

Today was also Stage 5 for the Tour de France. It was a flat Stage that took the riders from Carhaix to Cap Fr?hel.?


The race ended with a bunch finish, with all of the contenders for overall victory finishing safely in the pack. My favorite (and probably the best) sprinter in the world, Mark Cavendish, won the Stage is stoic fashion!?
