Under $500 Recommendation:
Samsung Color Laser Printer (Model CLP-510)
Available at Bestbuy for $399 before a $100 rebate.
Reason:
Laser printers are considerably better than inkjet. The quality is better and it provides a cleaner more professional look. Overall the cost of ownership is lower than that with an inkjet, when you consider the cost of ink cartridges versus toner.
I checked this one out at Bestbuy and even on cheap 20lb paper. I would recommend it as a good printer for at home. Additionally you can set it up for wireless network printing with an add-on.
So much fun for such a low price: Get a Memorex Karaoke System with a built in monitor + a couple CD’s for under $100 at Target!

Not being terribly interested in computer viruse myself, but recognizing the widespread need for protection against them; I decided to bring up the topic of anti-virus software to the Money Well Spent team. The whole deal is rather complex, so I’m going to let you listen to the discussion in the podcast if you’re interested in this topic.
A few recommendations that were made were:
Norton Anti-Virus
McAfee Anti-Virus.
Back with another Vonage recommendation. In episode 2 I recommended Vonage Phone Service.
Which I still use and believe is a great phone solution. One thing many friends have shared with me is that it is not easy to integrate it into their homes wiring. First off, I don’t think it is too difficult; however, I have the advantage of having been involved in the excessive wiring in my house. If you are a bit concerned about that; Vonage has the answer. They are now offering a package with VTECH cordless phones. Plug the base into the internet connection and plug the handsets into the power and you are done.
