I completely understand that 500 is a bit to chew on. I had to bargain with the wife to build my first printer. She got a dog, I got the printer...for what it’s worth I look at building the printer as an investment in my career as well. It helps the financial aspect a bit easier too swallow.

If you’re up to the challenge, you can build your own printer for a lot cheaper than 1,000. I’ve build two now, both were ~$500.

I would agree with you that the article makes some bold assumptions in the efforts to prove a point. To your "just do it" comment, i would argue that the average american (as indicated by the average vehicle purchase price) seems to apply that attitude to their car purchases. just buy the car i want, even though its a…

I think you'll find this eye opening

I grew up in a similar type of community, 3,500 ppl. Now industry or big business. Most people commuted to work +45min to the twin cities. I know all about rural living. The question is do you have to live that far from work or do you choose to live that far from work?

I broke my femur 8 years ago and was in the hospital for 3 days. The "room and board" portion of my bill was over $20,000. That did not include the surgery, x-rays, drugs, PT, follow up visits, ambulance ride, ect. Simply, a bed to sleep in with a trained staff monitoring my condition. How, is that possibly an…
