I've always said this is the best policy.

I'll contest #8. Many employers will not offer risky investment options in their 401k's. Consequently, your returns may significantly trail the market even if you invest in the best options available. Make sure the match percentage is worth the lack of investment options.

#7 is my favorite. My father is a notorious cheapskate. He will make the same cheap purchase 100 times over buying quality the first time. As a kid, I hated wearing the cheap shoes to school, but I usually ended up with 4-5 new pairs a year after they fell apart.

Please don't flame me, but my coworker told me they employed this tactic with her 50 year-old down syndrome sister over thanksgiving. She said it saved a lot of heartache from her sister who is known for being aggressive when she doesn't get her way.

I've been casual buying and selling on eBay for over 13 years. My wife was begging me to sell some of her stuff, but I'd refused to deal with the junk. She decided (against my advice) to list a few items, and was excited when she sold an old gift she never used. Unfortunately, she underestimated shipping costs and…

Try this. Borrow another mac. Shut off your network connection, then create a new user account. Install the trial, then reboot the machine. After it reboots, connect the newly created user account to your appleID and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting software update.

Same trick works if you manage to find a trial version of Aperture.

It's all about the kid.

My biggest problem is I'm often "delegating" to my superiors. Working in a family owned company puts me in the situation where I'm often required to keep "Jr." & "The Little Miss" on task.

I've held a tight grip on my unlimited data plan for years, but ever since my wife got an iPhone, I've wished I could trade my unlimited plan for a reasonably priced 2gb plan with unlimited texts and minutes with carryover.

The real benefit to building is you don't need to do it all at once. Want to upgrade to a better video card later on? It's unlikely that budget PC you got on special at walmart will have the space, cooling capacity or power supply to support it.

The key on inspections and regular oil changes is to avoid shops that also have a mechanic they need to keep busy. I used to swear by a local tire shop until they decided to dedicate a bay to their new mechanic. Suddenly, they were recommending expensive repairs which I declined. Several months later at the same…

I know I'm in the minority, but using a credit card to make all the monthly purchases actually helps me to track my expenses better. Every expense is automatically categorized in Mint.com, so I know where every cent is going.
