Saving Tips (1)

I should have started the topic of saving strategies long time ago. Let's begin with the first saving tip with idea from MSN's Money...

There are things in life that you should not buy new. These are 10 of them among all. By Liz Pulliam Weston.

1. Books
2. DVDs and CDs
3. Little kids' toys
4. Jewelry
5. Sports equipment
6. Time shares
7. Cars
8. Software and console games
9. Office furniture
10. Hand tools

Read the original article on why you should not buy these items new and how to save money from buying second hand with bargain, sharing, renting, etc.

  1. I think there is certain etiquettes we must observe when we go to people house or come to people web site. It is important to have basic manners to write or express in a rational way.

  2. My RM50 Bata's Power sport shoe last me more than two years. So I know it is not worth it to spend RM200 for a pair of shoe.

    RM200 for a pair of shoe!! This is kind of spoiled brat's spending habit. (Are you sure you are "darkUNCLE"?) I can afford it for sure, but I will not spend on it.

    Oh yeah, I love books too.

    I was comtemplating to remove your comments due to your rudeness. But...second thought, no harm leaving it there.

  3. Everyone has a freedom to express oneself. In Chen Tong's case, its his blog, he is free to express his opinion (especially in this case where it is not even related to politic, religion or race). Darkuncle may express your opinion otherwise but it is really not up to Darkuncle to tell people [quote] "Don't simple go and post an article just you think it nice you get in from some gufu. Pls THINK is it applicable? Go and do more research about it." I am a browser and come across this article and saw this behaviour. No friend to Chen Tong but the fac that he is sharing his opinion is great especially when there is a lack of sources in mainstream media for personal finance in Malaysia.
