The Stacking Benjamins Show

If you don't know where you want to go, how do you know what to do with your money? Patrice Washington has spent LOTS of time coaching individuals on handling money better, but realized that something was missing....and that was purpose. She'll talk about finding fulfillment in her own life and teaching other people to find fulfillment also. We'll share techniques on how to chase purpose so that you can better handle your money (and live a more purposeful life) on today's show.

We'll also throw out the Haven Life Line to Angela. She wants to get into the real estate market and is thinking about using a self-directed IRA. Is this a smart path to go down? Then we answer a letter from Alex, who needs some advice on how to set up a trust for her special needs son. What can she do to make sure he will be taken care of?

Wondering where you'll score the hottest deals in tech this holiday season? Bridget Caret, Senior Editor at CNET joins us in the basement to share news on drones, televisions, game systems, home speakers, lights, wearables, and more. She'll not only share the BEST holiday items, but also help you navigate away from a few hot devices that might not end up being the big savings you're hoping to score at the store this Black Friday.

Plus, in our headlines segment, we discuss news about a politician who's lying about his net worth. Why is this important? Why would someone lie about how much money they have? What does it have to do with YOUR money? We'll share. Also, we'll reveal which retailer this holiday season is selling WAY over the top merchandise. Need a gift for the person who has everything AND want to spend WAY too much money on it? We've got you covered.

We'll of course have more from the world of financial planning, throw out the Haven Life line to lucky listener Kate, who wonders what to do with some company stock, score with some of Doug's delightful trivia, and more.

Huge thanks to Roofstock (check out their massive real estate database AND their SPECIAL DEAL through 12/31) and MagnifyMoney.com (when you're comparing financial tools like credit cards and savings accounts) for helping us with today's show. They're awesome companies and if you're not using them, I'm not sure you know what you're missing!

How about making $8 MILLION dollars reselling products already found in stores? That's how one man's making money in our headlines segment today. It sounds fantastic until you hear the details. In our second headline we wonder out loud, "Why don't we ever see special rates or sales on life insurance?" Yaron Ben-Zvi from Haven Life joins us to answer that question and share with us more about what's going on in the life insurance industry.

But the star of today's show is Brent Shelton from BFAds.net, who'll help us dig in to the deals coming this Black Friday. Hoping to score that unique gift? We'll talk about how this Black Friday will compare to those of former years, where you'll find some of the biggest and quirkiest deals and the biggest door busters. Plus, we'll outline how to plan so you don't get taken for a ride that sounds like a "great deal" but really is the same ol' price you'd pay any other day of the year. You'll hear about everything Star Wars, duck blinds for the office, front yard inflatables, toys, and of course, cars that even the kids can drive.

We'll also throw out the Haven Life Line to Doug, who's hoping to use a 529 plan for himself to take classes on cruise ships or vacations. Can you do this? We'll answer his question and talk about the possibility of a Stacking Benjamins cruise in the future...and just how ugly that might end up. Then we answer a letter from Nancy who wonders about paying off credit cards or investing for retirement. Which is the first priority?

Our listener call today is about mortgages. Is it better to take out a mortgage for law school or find another way? Our panel weighs in on this and of course, they don't agree. Devin Carroll from the Big Picture Retirement podcast joins in the fun this week to help not only answer listener questions about college planning, but also to help with our headlines and take part in our trivia segment.

In our headlines segment, we talk about Halloween candy. One dentist recommends forcing kids to sell their candy for money. Is this a great way to teach kids about saving and give them cleaner teeth? Also, we discuss the tiny house trend. Is this a fad, a niche, or the wave of the future? One piece we focus on this week seems to think it might be the next big trend....

Also, in our special guest spot, we'll talk about declutter! If you're wading in old CDs, books, video games, DVDs or electronics, this "lazy man's eBay" might be for you. Want a way to make money and also declutter the house? We'll dive into that today!
