Thanks so much for this post. I found myself suddenly interested in what mistakes I can make in the future, being only 19 and in the army has provided me with more money than I’m used to and this post opened my eyes on my recent “product wants” that aren’t completely backed up with intelligent and logical reasons.

I was uninsured for a long time but I found a great hospital only plan with empire blue that covers preventative care too. I’ve been really happy with it — I even wrote a whole post about it on my blog since I was so relieved to not be throwing away money every month on overpriced health insurance.

In reply to MoneySmartGuides. Insurance is a huge expense that's always hard to predict. A lot of places will quote you lower than your actual premium will be, leaving you in a tough spot when it comes time to sign up. Also, where you live can have a huge impact on how much you pay. I've found that increased insurance premiums can be a hidden cost of moving.

I know of many friends that when buying their first car never took into account the cost of insurance. This can be a huge cost, sometimes being close to a monthly car payment depending on the car and the driver.

I personally would buy the lowest priced item I could find. But then I learned that after buying the item and it falling apart and buying again that I ended up spending more than I would have had I just bought the higher priced, higher quality item. So now, I still shop around, but know when to pay more for things that will last.
