**EDIT**
If There are ads on this page at the top and right for John McCain, please do NOT take them as my endorsement for him as president. I may or may not endorse Mr. McCain. Although it is excruciatingly difficult not to directly state whether or not I endorse him, I believe it is better left unsaid.
I
Cannot believe
that this
exists.
I can, actually, but it's just fundamentally not right.
So here's your challenge: if you can get through this *whole video* without feeling intensely uncomfortable, email me. I'm sure I owe you something. Moreover, I'd like to meet you and study you. |

In my article about how to efficiently find deals on Craigslist using Google Reader, I finished by talking about choosing the products you decide to buy wisely. I think this is a very important part of living a healthy life, really, but on a simpler level, it's about having nice things.
I enjoy having high quality things. I think most people do. I tend to value the things that I own if there was a degree of forethought that went into buying them. I also waste less money, which is a matter of perception, I guess, but the feeling of not wasting is important. I will be less likely to purchase a product I don't really need if I've put the forethought into the purchase - the novelty will wear off before I buy it instead of after the money is spent.
In this article I'm going to give you some ideas and tools to help you make your purchases of a higher quality. Do you have the patience to use them before making an important purchase and take the "impulse" out of buying? |

So cool! My best-good buddy Casey came to visit this weekend. He just left a very short time ago. It was immeasurably good to see him.
Casey is getting married to Shelley pretty soon. We hadn't seen each other in quite some time, so it was good to be able to catch up and talk to him about his wedding. He's super excited about it and so am I. It sounds like he's got quite the group coming to watch him get married. |

I realized the other day, as I was merrily driving along, that I drive an absolutely bottom-of-the-line automobile. I love it! It is a fantastically reliable vehicle that gets good gas mileage, doesn't get attention, and fits all the people I need.
There are some small, technically luxury items I miss. On longer trips I particularly miss cruise control. I miss it for the gas mileage and I particularly miss it when my tibialis anterior starts to cramp. I decided to make a good thing out of my cramping calf and I came up with a couple of different, simple things that I do to get better gas mileage and take some of the "work" out of driving a truly non-luxury automobile. |

I bought my car four or five months ago using this technique. I got it for $1,300 under Kelley Blue Book. With a bit of patience I found exactly the car I wanted for a price that couldn't be beat. The key is to know exactly what you want. The rest will fall in to place rather quickly using the technique I'll outline below.
I have decided I would like to get an iPhone. I want the 8GB model. I am going to show you, step by step, how I am going to find a good deal on an iPhone using Google Reader to efficiently search through Craigslist. |
