The Sweet Sixteen in is now in the books, and the Elite Eight has now been posted over at FreeMoneyFinance. I’m pleased to report than FiveCentNickel and Raising4Boys went a combined 3-0. Thanks to all who voted, especially those that helped tipped the scales in my epic battle with NCN.

Here are our results in the Sweet Sixteen:

Unfortunately, the Elite Eight presents us with another good news, bad news situation… Dave Ramsey is Bad at Math is facing off with Teaching Kids the Value of a Dollar so… While we’re guaranteed a win and a spot in the Final Four, we’re also guaranteed a loss.
