If you’re looking for new tech toys for the holidays this year, we bring you today good news and bad news. The good news is that we’re going to cover LOTS of ground and some of the hottest and coolest tech we’ve seen in years. On the bad news side? It’s going to be harder than ever to get your hands on any of it. Today we’re geeking out on the hottest of the hot and the newest of the new tech with our friend Bridget Carey from CNET. Bridget, as she has every year with us (and as she does daily in her CNET videos and reviews), breaks down everything you need to know to have a geeky, techie holiday season.
And if the hot new tech you’re looking for has four wheels we also have you covered. Slow down before you run off and buy the flashiest car, because you may be surprised how much the value drops when you drive off the lot. We’ll talk to Karl Brauer from iSeeCars.com about a new study showing which models and brands hold their value best AND which cars you may want to avoid.
During the Haven Life line call-in segment of the show, August calls in with a question not too many people consider: do office workers sitting behind a computer everyday need occupation disability insurance? After all, what could go wrong? We’ll share suggestions about disability coverage and what you need to cover.
Plus, what in the world is going on with this “OLED” business? Seems like everything from smart TVs to new iPhones are promising the latest and greatest OLED devices. During Doug’s trivia, he’ll test your 2020 electronic knowledge… if he can find the answer himself, that is.

A big thanks to Karl Brauer for talking with us today!
- While your vehicle purchase is ultimately your own, consider how much cash you’ll get back if you want to trade it in later. Consider finding your next set of wheels at iSeeCars.com.
While big trading days are certainly enticing, the real (much more boring) game is always in long-term investing.
