The story today is about how Jay gave his sister a meaningful gift of TIME when she was 7-years-old. We can give with time, talent, and treasure. Even if you aren't short on money (treasure), giving your time and talent can be more meaningful than an expensive gift. This gift of time is the only one Jay remembers from that Christmas, and there is a good reason for it. Can we use that as inspiration in our own gift giving this year? How have you gone about gift giving when money was tight? How can we make this holiday season extra memorable without breaking the bank? Let us know in the comments below!

The last one is an 8% answer from Ramsey Solutions that will shock you! 00:00 - Roadmap/Intro 00:57 - Dress to Divide! 07:16 - Right Into the RISK ZONE 20:52 - George Kamel Claims MALICE! Today's story is a throwback to THE dress of 2015. Was it blue/black or white/gold? This dress broke the internet with division. This isn't the only divisive dress. Jay has remembers another, but he needs your help to track down the source. The main topic shows how the "Risk Zone" of retirement can help us change our fate.
