Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! đŸŽ™ïžđŸ’Ż

The ads say go big or you’re failing your family. We say keep your joy and your money. Big Slick brings unfiltered, straight-talk energy to a seasonal truth most people feel but rarely say out loud: holidays are priceless, but overspending is a choice. From Thanksgiving menus that balloon into waste to Christmas lists that teach kids to crave more, we unpack the habits, emotions, and marketing pressure that turn celebration into stress. Big Slick gets honest about the invisible reasons we overdo it—like trying to heal childhood lack by piling gifts on our own kids—and how that backfires. You’ll hear a simple framework to reset expectations: fewer, better gifts; clear budgets by category; and a tighter, smarter plan for hosting that doesn’t leave you eating scraps all week. Slick tackles Valentine’s Day with the same heat, arguing that real romance happens in small, steady acts, not a once-a-year spending spree. If you’ve ever felt the January money hangover, this conversation gives you language, tools, and confidence to opt out. Walk away with practical moves you can use right now: cap the number of gifts without killing the vibe, embrace potlucks and portion control, choose experiences over excess, and set norms your kids can understand. Most of all, reclaim the meaning of the season by aligning your wallet with your values. Hit play, share it with someone who needs a reality check, and if you’re rocking with the message, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the one holiday expense you’re cutting this year.
