What makes you think men want to see that shit any more than women do? (BTW I haven't seen any of these, so apparently you guys are doing pretty good work keeping up with that junk, for what it's worth)

Agreed—I think it's due primarily to the competition among sellers. One seller offers a slightly lower price than others, sells the merchandise, and that price is thus taken off the board. That's why it's important to know your prices, to ensure you're getting the best deal!

Expect a lot of yourself, but don't make overly optimistic promises to others (at least not until you know you can deliver, even if setbacks occur). This is one of the things that billionaires understand!

Can't say I'm surprised by the constant price changes on Amazon. Anyway, this is interesting stuff—great post, Kristin!

Once you've established good habits and self-discipline, good credit follows naturally! Read more here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/financ…

It's ALWAYS sound advice to read legal documents like these carefully; doubly so when it deals with your money!

Once you've achieved financial freedom, you'll have to worry much less about such things as which credit cards give you the best rewards! Find out more here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/financ…

I, for one, am in the ASUS Zenbook camp. But consumers definitely have a wide variety of options today when they're looking for nice laptops that can do anything well and last a long time on battery! I've collected my favorites here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/premiu…

Sounds like you got a defective unit and/or malware. That's a damn shame :(

I like the point here where you define frugality as "having a high joy-to-stuff ratio," a point that I touch on here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/financ…

This is an excellent—mathematically obvious, but excellent because it's often overlooked—point to make. It is absolutely vital to both earn more and spend less, in order to maximize the amount of money available to fulfill your financial goals!

Agreed! Once you adopt the Millionaire Mindset and learn which expenses you can cut without decreasing your quality of living, you'll start to gain confidence in your decisions, and you'll be on the path to financial freedom! http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/financ…

Interesting stuff! Thanks for the advice, Kristin! The part about spending 40% on meaningful experiences is a critical, and oft-overlooked part, of making a budget. Nobody's a money-saving machine; it's important to do cool stuff sometimes! It's just better if you can do it on a budget :)

This is a useful tip—a great way to find the best deal possible before pulling the trigger on a deal! Kudos, Kristin!

That's actually some pretty solid advice. It's harder to save when your friends are all in massive consumer debt. But it's definitely do-able, with the Millionaire Mindset: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mi…

The thing is, you have to be careful with credit—not scared of it, but careful and thoughtful. Credit cards are a useful way to build credit, as long as you're responsible with it and pay off your balance every month. Student loans are sort of similar—be thoughtful about it: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/…

Yep, the Yoga Pro 2 is a nice machine! I actually think the IdeaPad Flex 15 59401418 is a better value, because it costs $650, but has a fast Haswell i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM. It doesn't have the hi-res screen, SSD, or detachability, but it's $350 cheaper and features the same ability to go into what Lenovo calls…

$365 per month for an efficiency, including utilities and furnishings! I love the Midwest :)

I share many similar points on my blog, The Froogal Stoodent! Cutting out unnecessary expenses, and cutting back especially when money is tight, is a vital part of getting your finances on track!
