25 Rules to Grow Rich By


November 13th, 2006

CNN has distilled a number of their articles into a brief guide on making the right financial decisions and called it 25 Rules to Grow Rich By. While most of those rules are investment-related – eg how big of a retirement fund to aim for (see Rule 10) – , there are however, 2 rules that relate to gadgets:

Rule 22 – don’t buy the latest gadget – wait 3 months for the price to drop.
Rule 25 – don’t pay for an extended warranty – except for laptops.

While the article makes for a good read, and it was nice to see CNN support the idea of flying warranty-less, it was mildly disappointing not to see more categorical advice such as buy Brilliance Auto, or, aggressively accumulate copper below $3.0250 per lb.
