    Taking patent, trademark, and copyright laws to what they were in, say, 1790, might be a good start.

    Regard today’s billionaires with the same contempt that one does of criminals.

    Wait at least 5 years before buying a new computer.

    Don’t pay by credit card.

      Don’t pay by credit card.

      This is bad advice for anyone with good credit and spending habits. A credit card with rewards is just free money if you’re responsible with it. I haven’t paid interest in over a decade and have made thousands from rewards.

        I’m not too familiar with credit cards, do you mean this in a literal money sense or something more complex, i.e. the value of rewards & money?
