Ready, set, SHOP! If you have to shop (and we’re fairly certain you’re like us and aren’t in love with the idea at all), why not make it more fun by saving tons of money? Whether you’re looking for clothing, tools, kitchen aids, furniture, or just something quirky, we’ve got you covered. Today we’re talking to Sarah Hollenbeck from BlackFriday.com about the best deals available this holiday season.

In our headlines segment we’ll share another great deal that has savers everywhere cheering. The IRS announced recently that they’re raising tax limits on all kinds of different retirement plans in 2019. What plans are getting a bump? Should plan to stash away more cash next year? We’ll tackle that. Plus, we’ll continue our Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping theme by making sure you don’t get caught buying a “deal” that isn’t really a deal this holiday spending season. We’ll sit down with  consumer savings expert Andrea Woroch about this year’s holiday scams and not-so-great deals to watch out for.

Plus, today we’re throwing out the Haven Life Line to Jeremy. Jeremy has been looking into Life Insurance Retirement Plans after our interview with David Mcknight, but it’s a brand new field for him. Any tips on navigating LIRPs? And during out letters segment, we’re answering Michelle’s question about HSAs and FSAs. With their employers only offering FSAs, should they be looking elsewhere?

And don’t worry… we’ll still take some time for Doug’s trivia.
