Terrell has been saving for a new laptop for the past six months and now has $1,700 in his checking account. He has done his research and found a model that experts say will more than meet his needs. But new, it costs $3,000. He also found a refurbished version of the same computer with all the same features online for $1,500. The refurbished laptop comes with a warranty, and Terrell has had no problems with another refurbished item he previously bought from the same company last year. Terrell's third option is a different brand-new laptop that costs $1,800 and has all of the features he needs – but not all of the features he wants. Terrell just received both a debit and credit card. Which computer option makes the best financial sense?

Maria received $500 from her grandparents for graduation. She has been wanting to buy a new watch and some new clothes before she heads off to a new school in the fall. However, she also wants to buy a new oboe that costs $1,000. Maria is pretty certain that if she continues to play the oboe in the high school band that she can qualify for a big scholarship to college. Maria thinks that if she uses her graduation money to buy the watch and clothes, she can still save enough money from summer babysitting to buy the oboe, but she’s not sure. Should she use her pre-approved line of credit to make the purchase or wait?
