When is it better to buy used? Usually.

Very good points—this is a helpful list. I tend to look for products with lots of reviews on Amazon, and then I look at the general trend—if the four-star reviews + the five-star reviews = 75% or more of the total reviews, then it's probably a safe product to buy. If 85% of reviews are four-or-five-star, that's…

McBree gets it. The 'self-made' rich people don't blow a bunch of money on yachts and Lamborghinis and $500 tubes of lipstick, because they equate money with effort and energy and time. For more, see: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mi…

That is clever! You can save money by getting good headphones for under $30, as well: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-14…

These are the kind of people who would take expensive ultrabooks like these http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/premiu… and coat them in gold, just to show off.

One person says "spend less;" another says "earn more." Why not do both?

This is great advice! Well-done!

Agreed! Go off-contract, and buying your phone upfront ultimately saves you a lot of money! http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to…

I'm a big fan of ASUS laptops (in case you can't tell from this post: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/premiu…), and Lenovo has done pretty well the last couple of years as well!

You're fine as long as you've got a pretty good processor and decent RAM, like these: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/premiu…

Another good reason to buy a solid used car! My take on this can be read here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/afford…

Creative premise! Thanks for sharing!

Yup, the vulnerability of the RAID 0 configuration to lose all your data is the big hangup for me. But then, a computer with a mechanical hard drive, decent processor, and 4 GB of RAM meets my needs; anything more exceeds my needs—and usually costs more, which I try to avoid.

I like this setup! Clean, and the circle makes good use of space!

Great everyday deals can be found on these headphones: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-14…

How about a nugget of advice for someone currently considering—or attending—college? Calculate what your student loan payment will be once you graduate: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-new-…

Also, try taking the abstraction out of finance. Break things down into something that's more immediate and easier to understand, like this: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-new-…
