This is one of the most useful articles I've seen lately -- "10 things you should never buy new." Some, such as books, are obvious. Some, such as cars, take some thinking; it was once accepted wisdom that to buy a used car was to buy somebody else's problems. A useful corollary for saving money is "Don't think you need something right now." Today's hardback is tomorrow's paperback. That electronic toy everybody is rushing out to buy right now will be so much cheaper in a few months. Love those garage sales.
