More great advice from a guy who knows what he's talking about! Of course, you can't focus only on a couple goals to the exclusion of everything else, but it is wise to spend most of your attention on accomplishing the most important goals, because you only have so much time and energy. Spend these limited resources…

Good advice—stores try to take advantage of common triggers, such as advertising a great value on a product when it really isn't a great deal at all.

This is a useful app for bargain shoppers. It all comes down to knowing your prices—and who can memorize the prices of everything?! Good timing with this post!

Current college students: it is wise to minimize your student loans while you're still in college. You can do this by living off-campus and not buying the most expensive meal plan, for example. There are some other tips in an article I wrote here.
