Considering entrepreneurship via buying a franchise? Clark shares his most important rule before investing your hard-earned money: go work for that franchise first. Instead of relying on the sales pitch, spend several months on the job learning how the business really operates, what challenges owners face and whether the opportunity lives up to the promises. Taking this important step could save you from making a costly mistake and help you become a smarter entrepreneur. Also, Clark discusses the expansion of TrumpRx, a government prescription price comparison resource that now includes hundreds of additional generic medications. With prescription costs keeping many Americans from filling the medications they need, Clark reviews several ways to save money on prescriptions, including Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon Pharmacy, Walmart, Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs and charitable programs that may provide free medications. He also explains what to do if you need an expensive brand-name medication and can’t afford it, including exploring manufacturer patient assistance programs that could help lower your costs.

Clark’s first business was a travel agency and he specialized in saving his clients money. Travel costs are challenging now, with airlines facing higher fuel expenses and travelers paying the price. Clark shares his back-to-basics strategy for finding affordable trips, including why flexibility is your greatest money-saving tool. Learn why Clark lets the deal determine the destination, how shoulder-season airfare pricing can create opportunities for savings, and why being a "free agent" when booking flights can help you see more of the world for less. Also, Clark explains the growing problem of "dark patterns" online—those annoying popups, misleading buttons, and sneaky subscription tactics designed to manipulate your decisions. While many of these practices aren't illegal, they are deceptive and can lead to unwanted purchases and recurring charges if you're caught unaware. Know what to watch for and how to avoid getting tricked into spending money you never intended to spend.

Also, when your health insurer denies coverage for a treatment, procedure, or medication, don't assume that's the final answer. Clark explains a little-known consumer right that could help you overturn a denial: an external appeal reviewed by an independent third party. While some patients do appeal insurance decisions, very few take the next step when they're denied again. Clark shares why persistence matters, how the appeals process works, and why insurers often reverse decisions when consumers push back. For serious illnesses, these denials aren't just about money—they can be a matter of life and death. Learn how to fight back, when to appeal again, and how an independent review could force your insurer to pay for care it initially refused to cover.

Fifty years ago, Clark founded an alternative school called Career Action for adults who were struggling to find their path after high school. The program was intense, with long days, strict standards, and a focus on preparing students for the workplace. It was successful for decades—but here's what's remarkable: virtually every job skill that was taught eventually became obsolete. The lesson is more important than ever today: you can't stay static. Also, Clark explains why extended warranties are usually a bad deal for consumers. Whether it's electronics, smartphones, appliances, or cars, the math overwhelmingly favors the companies selling the coverage. Clark shares what you need to know about smartphone insurance, home warranties, and extended auto warranties—and the one exception if you're determined to buy coverage for your vehicle.

With technology stocks making up nearly half of the S&P 500, many index investors are asking an important question: Is this concentration a risk—or simply the natural evolution of the market? In this episode, Wes Moss and Clark Howard tackle the growing dominance of tech companies in major indexes, discuss whether traditional index investors should consider diversifying beyond tech, and explore how age and retirement timelines may influence those decisions. They tackle concerns about what happens when so much market value is concentrated in just a few companies—and whether investors nearing retirement should think differently.

If you've felt squeezed every time you shop for groceries, there may finally be some good news. Kroger is cutting prices on thousands of items as competition heats up with Walmart, Costco, Aldi and Lidl. Clark explains why grocery stores are fighting harder than ever for your business, why private label products are becoming the best value in the store, and how inflation continues to affect everyday staples like tomatoes. Then, Clark looks at a new way to cut one of your biggest monthly bills. AT&T has launched a new "Build-a-Plan" option starting at just $15 per month. Clark explains who this plan works for, how much data most people actually need, and why so many consumers are paying for unlimited plans they rarely use. If you've been hesitant to leave one of the major wireless carriers but want to spend less every month, this new offering could be exactly the kind of competition that helps put money back in your pocket.

From streaming services and device protection plans to fitness apps and smart gadgets, recurring monthly charges can quietly pile up and put pressure on your budget. While one small price increase may not seem like a big deal, multiple hikes across several services can add up fast. Clark shares a simple strategy to help you stay on top of subscription costs without turning it into a part-time job. He also shares a personal story about canceling Netflix and the family backlash that followed, and how a lower-cost plan became the compromise. If subscription fatigue is setting in and you're looking for an easy way to cut expenses, this seasonal money-saving habit could help you keep more of your hard-earned cash.

Think you need a high end business or a lottery-ticket stock win to hit a $1 million net worth? Think again. Clark breaks down key insights of first-time millionaires. While old-school wealth looked like owning a successful service business, modern data from Kiplinger and Fidelity proves that regular people working everyday jobs—like teachers and government employees—are achieving financial independence. Plus, Clark examines a growing real estate trend: the rise of the "accidental landlord." According to Zillow, more home sellers than ever are turning into landlords because their houses aren't selling and they can't afford to cut the price. Drawing from his own 43 years of wild landlord adventures—including non-paying tenants and unexpected damages—Clark explains why you should never take this decision lightly.

To help prevent spam calendar invites on Google calendars:
1. Open Google Calendar and click the gear icon, then Settings
2. In the left menu, click Event settings
3. Change "Add invitations to my calendar" from "From everyone" to either "Only if the sender is known" or "When I respond to the invitation in email". The "Only if the sender is known" option works well for most — limiting auto-added events to contacts and people you've interacted with before, so random spammers can't drop events onto your calendar anymore.

Most people think building wealth and keeping wealth require the same strategy. They don't. Wes Moss explains why getting wealthy and staying wealthy are two completely different skill sets—and why understanding the difference could have a major impact on your financial future. Wes also explores what may be the most important financial dividend of all: freedom. Financial planning isn't just about accumulating a bigger number. It's about creating autonomy, reducing the fear of running out of money, and building a life where you have more control over your time and choices. You'll learn why multiple income streams can provide both financial security and emotional comfort—and how finding your "money green zone" can help support lasting financial independence.

A shift is happening in the skies right now, as airlines quietly slash schedules and strip away basic comforts taken for granted for decades. If you don't double check your bookings, you could be walking blindly into a canceled itinerary—or a "bare-bones" cabin with zero food or water. Meanwhile, a strange new industry experiment means the ticket you bought for a connecting flight may turn out to be for an unforeseen road trip instead. Clark explains. Shifting to the housing market, if you’re looking to purchase your first home, Clark has a strict warning: Wait. It is a historically bad time to buy your first house in most of America, and doing so right now is essentially stepping into a financial trap.

Today - A warning about how much information you give an AI chatbot. Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have made getting financial advice faster and easier than ever. But as the AI gold rush heats up, a massive privacy risk is emerging. Clark breaks down the critical things you should never tell an AI chatbot. Also - The anatomy of a Ponzi scheme that RIPPED OFF $140 million from “investors.” Clark covers two massive fraud cases—Drive Planning and First Liberty—which collectively defrauded thousands of investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. When inflation or economic uncertainty makes us feel insecure about our money, we become susceptible to smooth pitches. Clark reminds us of the ultimate golden rule of investing: any time someone promises you "guaranteed" double-digit returns with zero risk, it is a lie. Learn how these schemes operate so you can spot the red flags, protect your hard-earned savings, and secure your financial future.
