For users that need more advanced levels for protecting data, there are other ways as protecting information on removable media (as creating encrypted disk images) or using Mac OS X FileVault.

I have actually used and liked secret folders. I think I even bought it but the price now seems way to steep.

If you want to keep people out of your stuff without going to the trouble of creating a faux user account (who wants to log out/in just to see document files?), password encrypt the folder with DiskCopy (part of the system installation), PGP, StuffIt, et al. Tons of encryption apps for OS X out there that are very secure.
And if you really need it to be invisible, make it invisible with any number of truly useful utilities like File Buddy that do so much more.
With the Go To Folder command, nothing is invisible. Same with Sherlock, just select invisible/on and a drive and you see all invisible files and folders. Same with dev apps like Resorcerer and plenty of others. Invisible is only protection against the computer illiterate and those who just aren't looking.
