VISA – Tackle Money Management & Score a Trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil!

Being an independent woman that I am, I’ve been managing my personal finances for decades. Lately, money management became a concern as 2014 has been a huge turning point for me.
Instead of one company I now run a few.
Instead of just online advertising, I have a couple of partners now and we have expanded our company profile. I added journalism and book writing to my portfolio; on top of full time blogging. Next could be a fashion business.
So, as I went through my financial statements with my accountant preparing for taxation this year, I realized it’s time to be serious about FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT!

Surfing around online I stumbled on this site and found it to be very informative and its’ articles easy to digest. You can check it out here –> http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com

But the really interesting part is this “Visa Financial Football Malaysia 2014” contest. Or shall I say the PRIZE is the factor why I’m so keen to learn more about financial literacy? 😀

I realized that the longer the game time, the better chances of winning more goals! And of course, besides answering & enhancing my financial knowledge at the same time!

In case you’re wondering how are the scores determined, here’s what I found:

So go on playing and try to get higher scores each time.

Visa will organize a Grand Final after the Contest Period ends, inviting the top 10 entries with the highest scores to participate in the Grand Final. The individual with the highest score will win a trip for two to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 in Brazil.

Heck even if you’re not the Grand Prize winner, you’ll win something if you’re the top 10 finalists.

The 2nd to 5th placed finalists will each win Sony and Adidas merchandise.
The 6th to 10th placed finalists will each win an Adidas merchandise pack.

Not top 10? It’s ok, console yourself with a savings certificate worth RM1,000!

Weekly Prizes
The entry with the highest score each week will win an BSN Premium Savings certificate (BSN Sijil Simpanan Premium) worth RM1,000.
