New seven wonders of the world

Ever wonder what a world wonder looks like, baby? Well, 45 million joes and jills around the globe are voting to pick the new ones. Some Swiss filmmaker set up a contest where people vote on the new seven wonders of the world. It reads like a who's who of famous digs. You got the Acropolis in Athens, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Statue of Liberty ... it's an all-star deal.

They're big and beautiful, but when it's all said and done, the seven wonders are just buildings, baby. Real wonders happen when you do a random act of kindness. When you have no consumer debt and can use your dough to make this crazy world a better place, THAT'S a wonder. You may have a little money now, but as soon as you do the Dave Ramsey thing and get on a budget, you'll have a lot more later. Make it happen and make a difference around here.

Thanks for dishing out the feelgoods about my blog. You've got a pretty nice one yourself. All those wonder sites are good ... all those places got history, style and they stand out (I read the profiles). But for my money, nothing beats the Eiffel Tower. The reason? It captivates. Most people have an opinion (good or bad) about some of those other places, but when it comes to lights and love, EVERYONE gets starry-eyed when they see the tower. It's famous for being something bigger than just a building ... it's something more. It's a wonder ...
