Computers Crash – FACT!
One Thing you need to understand. Computers crash. Not often but it happens. Second thing you need to understand is that if you have anything remotely important (for some it’s business documents for others it’s music) on your computer you need to have a back up system. It’s basically like car insurance – No one wants to pay for it but when you need it you’re glad that you have it.
On that token an awesome back up solution that I found (and it’s free for up to 2GB) is Mozy. Mozy is excellent because it is an online solution that completely removes you from the equation – and did I mention it’s free – almost as cool as winning free stuff. All you have to do is download and install the software. Mozy backs up your computer to a secure online server and if your computer ever fails you can retrieve your files from Mozy!
I seriously advise giving this a try.

First off who is this guy ^ and what does he have to do with my money? That’s probably the first thing I would think when coming to this page. This guy is an example of a person under 30 who knows what to do with their money – and knows how to teach you the same. His name is Ramit Sethi and he makes a living educating others about personal finance.
Ramit’s book I Will Teach You To Be Rich sounds like the title of the latest scam but I ensure you it is far from it. Ramit breaks down the fundamentals of money in an easily understood and conversational way. First off he’s a funny guy which makes the mundane topic of money that much easier to follow.
Great book if your interested in learning the language of money
I recommend this book for anyone interested in living a comfortable life. This book is not about penny pinching and even encourages you to spend money on the things you truly enjoy. Ramit has a unique view on the 20 something money saver because he is a 20 something. This book is the best $10 dollars I ever spent and I guarantee you will get your moneys worth. If you
buy this book and don’t think it helped you with your personal finances I will
buy it from you!

The answer is no. No one needs an iPad but technically no one needs an iPhone either and look how well that went over. A need has a very specific definition:
a lack of something wanted or deemed necessary: to fulfill a desire or want.
Hmmm. That seems to have back fired. Maybe I do need an iPad afterall. Gizmodo has gotten all of the what’s how’s and how muches of the iPad locked down but to sum it up here’s what the iPad can do:
