You’re probably here because you’re taking my ‘Cheapskate Tech’ class. My intention is to post slides for each class here so those in my class (and others) can revisit the material as needed.
And maybe it’s appropriate now to explain why I feel qualified to teach this course. Well, as I’ll explain to my students, I really like tech AND I really like spending as little money as possible when I buy tech. It really doesn’t matter what the device is, I always have a price point in mind I’m will to pay and no more. So after years of experience buying and playing with using technology, it’s time to disclose my secrets for ‘investing‘ in technology while being a good money manager”. That doesn’t mean technology worth having is always going to be cheap. But there are always deals to be had with a little research, patience, and compromise. That’s the idea. I hope you enjoy my class!
