Writing Review Exercise From Alex Rager

The Mr. Money Mustache website is a website that is designed to help people save money and learn new things that can help in day to day life.  It’s general audience are people who want to make lifestyle changes that can help save them money or can improve their overall quality of life.  It is a good website to use because it is well formatted and easy to navigate.  It is also very relatable to real life because all the post affect people.

The websites layout is very easy to navigate and use.  It has a friendly user interface which allows for quick browsing and the ability to find what you want quickly.  The website runs well on  iPads, iPhones and computers which is convenient if you are away from the computer you can read on the go.  If you are unsure what you want to read you can click the random button and be taken to a random article.  You can also view the most popular articles or the classics at the click of a button.  The web site maintains a clean layout that loads quickly and doesn’t bombard you with pop up ads like other websites.

The website is credible because Mr. Money Mustache brings his own experiences into his blog post.  In his post How to Fix a Car he is showing the process that he went through to repair his Honda Odyssey so that he could safely drive his family to Ottawa.  He shows pictures of the oredeal and shows what was wrong.  He also explains how to fix a car without going to a mechanic so that people can save money and do it themselves.  In a different article 2,000 Miles of Justice: My Year of Riding Eletric Bikes he talks about how he built and eletric bike and how he feels justified in doing so and that he isn’t actually using it to be lazy.  He goes into detail about how he visited a electric bike company to test bikes and he reviews them so that his audience knows how he felt about the bike.  He does a good job at citing sources and giving credit to the bikes he reviewed.
