Even if, like us, you suspect that money is the root of all evil, you still need to find a way to get money (unless you're a hardcore freegan) and not blow it all in one pop. Problem is, most of the resources out there for being smart about money assume we have a house, a car, a mistress and yacht payments.

We may not be experts at living life with a tight wallet, but we may have found a new resource for those of us who haven't yet brought their savings past the four-digit mark: Currency, a new online guide from American Express for frugal living that you may want to check out.

To help you sit back and read all that exciting personal-finance content (depending on your definition of exciting, of course), Currency and Asylum have decided to give one of you personal-finance-challenged readers an iPad.

Keep reading to learn more about Currency and how to win a new iPad.
