The Crucial SSDs represent a great deal! I recommend Crucial and PNY in my post on bargain computers. I think SSDs represent a good price-to-performance ratio, and if you use your computer's old hard drive for backup storage, then you've managed to increase both speed AND storage capacity!

Absolutely do your own thinking; don't rely on a company's marketing to tell you where to find the cheapest stuff! Wal-Mart did a good job of basically doing the same thing—advertising the cheapest prices around, and then charging more for some stuff. I discuss this here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the…
That "you scored a deal" bit is right on point! Retailers sometimes jack up prices, then put the item "on sale" for the price they originally wanted! It's a trick that plays on our psychology to get us to spend more. I talk about this issue, and how to overcome it, here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-…
OK, I see the smaller font. I suppose I didn't pick up on that the first time. Anyway, I did like the article!
Great post with important points! I liked the "focus on the future" tip in particular. That's a good approach to finance (though not necessarily to other aspects of life!)
Cute, but not a good habit to get into! As those with the Millionaire Mindset (http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mi…) know, establishing good habits is critical to success! Hopefully this cute little girl establishes a more productive way to deal with adversity! :)
A worthwhile article—good job, Mark! Establishing good habits is critical to success in life! http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mi…
Yep, saving is a critical part of maintaining financial health! The wealthy understand this, and the more you save, the better off you'll be! $50/month is no big deal for most income brackets, and many people can—and should—save a lot more than that per month!
You can minimize the amount your college experience costs with a few simple tricks, such as living in an off-campus apartment! Read more here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/frooga…
It does. I'm a Ph.D. student and I don't have most of that stuff, nor do I need it.
Generally speaking, I prefer to use a computer, for just about anything (especially those Google searches. I HATE typing on a phone keyboard). But this list is otherwise a totally reasonable list of things that phones can do well, particularly reminders.
I think it's important to establish the right habits, as I detailed in an article here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-mi….
This is an interesting idea, though calling it "stupid mistakes" may be counterproductive for some people.
Avoiding money temptations is a good idea! The less you're tempted to spend, the less you'll spend—and the quicker you'll attain financial freedom! http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/financ…
Perhaps the same people who buy these, because they like nice stuff: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/premiu…
Problem is, the Saints don't suck. So although these articles are funny, they're funnier when they apply to teams that are actually bad.
...but the Broncos don't suck. Thus, this article (though funny) is moot.
Student loans can be nightmarishly expensive! Here's how to think about that loan before signing on the dotted line, in case you decide not to volunteer with an organization like SponsorChange or Public Service Loan Forgiveness program or AmeriCorps: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-new-…

I recommend living off-campus, buying used (or renting) textbooks, and minimizing your meal plan. These are ways to save hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on your education! Find out more here: http://froogalstoodent.blogspot.com/2014/08/frooga…
