Summary
Some of the most expensive items in your life after your home and transportation are technology related. That's why each year, before Black Friday, we dive into our favorite technology items with CNET's expert Bridget Carey. This year Bridget shares what to watch out for in tech (there's always some sneaky "gotcha" waiting around many "great deals." We talk about household items, security, dive DEEP this year into the world of televisions, dip into the toy department, and more.
But that's not all. Before that we get you up to speed on headlines about Dave Ramsey's eight percent solution to taking money from your retirement portfolio AND a headline about obscure investments. What could happen if you find a quirky but great-sounding investment opportunity? While we share a horror story, we also offer solutions and strategies to help you not get burned if you do decide to take the plunge.
Of course, we'll also answer a question from a lucky Stacker AND we'll share Doug's incredible trivia question.
