Ah, the holidays—a time for twinkling lights, warm cocoa, and the yearly hunt for the perfect Black Friday deal. Feeling the mix of cheer and budget-related stress? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Today, Regina Conway from SlickDeals joins us to share insider tips on scoring the best bargains. From stacking deals for maximum savings to finding hidden gems (like book bargains that’ll thrill even non-readers), Regina has the scoop to help you stretch every dollar this season.

But we’re not stopping at shopping—oh no. We’re tackling the lesser-known world of using your IRA to invest in real estate. Spoiler alert: it’s not as simple as it sounds. We’ll break down the rules, avoidable mistakes, and real estate horror stories that’ll make you think twice before jumping in.

And because it’s the holidays, we’re sprinkling in a little fun. Think debates over Mariah Carey’s playlist dominance, nostalgic Christmas traditions, and some lighthearted banter that’s as comforting as Grandma’s stuffing (though maybe less calorie-dense). Cheers to smarter shopping and investing that doesn’t leave you out in the cold!
