Yo, listen up! This morning's episode is all about holiday gift-giving and why we *totally* shouldn't skip out on Grandma this year. Our buddy Jade Warshaw dropped some wisdom on budgeting and suggested we focus our gift-giving on kiddos, ages 3 to 18—because, let’s be real, Grandma doesn’t need another pair of slippers. But hold up! I’m here to throw some shade on that idea! I’ve got *six* hilarious reasons why Grandma deserves a little somethin’ special under the tree. From her unconditional love to those cheeky returns, we’re gonna keep it fun and festive without busting the bank! So grab your coffee, kick back, and let’s dive into the holiday hilarity! 🎄💸 Ain't the holiday season just a wild ride? It’s that time again when we’re all like, ‘Oh boy, how much am I gonna spend this year?!’ But hold up—let’s chat about some money-saving wisdom shared by financial coach Jade Warshaw. She popped up on Fox News and dropped some truth bombs about holiday spending. Spoiler alert: she suggested not buying gifts for Grandma! I mean, can you imagine? Grandma's been through thick and thin with you, and now you wanna skip out on her gift? Jade says focus on the kiddos, ages 3 to 18, because they’re the real gift-receiving champs! But hey, we all know Grandma deserves some love too! It’s a wild debate, but we get into the nitty-gritty of why Grandma still needs her gifts, including reasons like, ‘She’s the only one who still thinks you’re cool!’ and ‘She might forget to take it home, so you can re-gift it!’ 😂 So, grab your coffee and get ready for some giggles and chitchat about saving bucks while still spreading that holiday cheer!

Speaker B:
Now, naturally, this has been a little bit controversial and not just among grandmas.

You know, a lot of people have exchanged traditions, you know, doing the dirty Santa or the whatever.

We might buy way more gifts than we should to make sure everyone's covered.

Speaker A:
And if you don't keep things in.
Speaker B:
Check, then gifts can spiral out of control.

So it is reasonable and responsible to keep things reined in.

And you can cut back with kids, too.
Speaker A:
Let's be honest.
Speaker B:
I mean, the more gifts that kids.

Get, the less they appreciate each individual gift.
