I’ve listened to Clark for decades now and truly, his advice and wisdom has had huge implications on our finances and our future retirement. I love the content but also love his humility and just overall kindness! It’s rare for someone with so much notoriety!
Clark I have listen to you for over 30 years. I, myself have not have the opportunity to become financially fit. I was a single mom of 3 for those 30years. My children are benefiting all the knowledge that you have given. My three children all have started straight out saving 10% in there retirement accounts. When we fly we watch to buy the tickets for air flare. Renting cars, hotels and just about anything you have schooled people on. I have used that knowledge to avoid paying extra.
OH BY THE WAY; I liked the clarkie line at the end. Its nice to hear how other people has used your information to better there lives. BUT I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF KARENS IN THE WORLD. Its all about them. Oh well, its life. Love listening to you guys.
Clark has something for everyone. People struggling to get by to wealthy people trying to make the most from investments to latest scams and bargains.
Clark is an upbeat kind knowledgeable person who is a joy to listen to. It’s not all about finances but a full and rich life. Love to podcast.
The best podcast show available. Chrisa adds some insight to the program. I have been a fan of Clark’s from the radio show 30+ years ago. It seems to keep getting better. My kids definitely know who Clark is! They have all of his books.
Howard is so smart and interesting. He makes such wonderful and common sense points that people at all ages can learn from (I’m a young age 70. ) He has a great sense of humor that makes me laugh a lot ! I have been listening to him for years and I’m always bringing up his name and reiterating his advice to my family members and my social group. They always say to me “yes, we know about your podcast friend and all the great things he tells you ! “
Thank you, Clark and to your great staff for all that you do and teach us. You also are very humble man. God bless you ! Please don’t think about retiring- I’d miss you a lot!
Advice the every day person can given in a easy to understand, concise manner. Enjoy listening to Clark. Also enjoy his Clark Stinks. Clark takes criticism well.
I’ve been listening to Clark Howard in syndicate and podcast for decades now. It’s an investment of 30 and every time I listen and I always gain some value out of the topics discussed. Even when they’re not relevant to me. Furthermore, Clark just has a very kind demeanor and is a good human. I think him, and all of his fantastic staff, as Team Clark is an awesome one.
Go check out the economics literature in google scholar about annuities. Also check out Paul Merriman and Wade Pfau. Immediate fixed annuities from a reputable company are very effective. Most people do not make a distinction between indexed annuities and fixed immediate annuities. But they are very different.
Honesty and trustworthiness are certainly hard to find these days—and if you value advice derived from those characteristics, stop right here and subscribe to The Clark Howard Show. For decades he has acted as the fiduciary to his listeners, and there’s no limit to his knowledge and careful research to stay on top of the most current deals and scams. I’ve listened to Clark for decades—and he’s saved my butt many times. He even does a weekly “Clark Stinks” segment where listeners are invited to correct his mistakes—I mean who does that! Clark is a ray of light—please never retire! And his sidekick Christa does an outstanding job serving as cohost. I give the show an A+++++++! Steve b. Six Mile SC
