Eight Strategies to Conquer Holiday Budget Overload (SB1617)


Listen Later

Feeling like your wallet’s taking a holiday beating? Don’t sweat it. We’ve got eight clever strategies to keep your spending in check and set yourself up for a financially stronger new year.

But wait—there’s more! We uncover the mind-blowing story of a 29-year-old living large in a mansion filled with luxury cars and Elton John's piano. What's his secret? (Hint: It’s not what you’d expect.)

And because we love answering Stackers' burning questions, we tackle a double feature:

  • Pensions: Are they still worth the hype?
  • Should you pay off your mortgage before retirement?

  • Sprinkle in some holiday stress hacks, thoughts on budget-friendly gift-giving, and why Tony the Tiger has something to do with the Grinch, and you've got a show packed with financial wisdom you can actually use.
