Thank God for Clark

I've been listening to the Clark Howard show since I heard him on the radio back in 2002. His information makes us all better people for listening.

Classic Clark

The guru of individual financial guidance continues to deliver timely tips, strategies, and updates on all things that affect your personal pocketbook. Clark is an old-school Sherpa who unwinds the complexity of daily personal finance and delivers it in a gentle story-telling vibe that harkens back to old time radio. It's excellent in all ways! Thanks for staying with us Clark.
