10.28.26 Airline Passenger Rights / Family Caregiving - Planning Ahead
Airline Consumer Protections Are Shrinking & Hidden Costs of Caregiving With the holiday travel season just around the corner, big changes are underway that could impact your upcoming trips. The Department of Transportation is re-interpreting consumer protections for air passengers. Since airlines won’t be eager to step up when they make a mistake, you need to know how to advocate for yourself, and navigate airline customer service. Also, another urgent conversation families need to have involves the hidden financial costs of caregiving. Nearly 70% of people will require some level of care in their lifetime. With the erosion of long-term care insurance, more families are impacted by caregiving challenges, forcing 56% of caregiving retirees to leave the workforce earlier than planned. Don’t wait until a crisis hits or until your parents are well into their 60s or 70s to talk about the future. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take.

10.26.26 Retirement Challenges / Best Value on Rx Eyewear
Re-Thinking Retirement: A Smarter Way To Phase Down & Best Places To Buy Eyeglasses Retirement is supposed to be the ultimate reward after decades of hard work, but for many, the reality doesn’t match the expectation. Whether it’s financial pressure from inflation and living expenses or simply missing the routine, activity, and social connections of a job, going cold turkey from 40 hours a week to zero isn't working for everyone. Clark breaks down why traditional retirement might need a rethink and explains why he’s a huge fan of "phased retirement." Also, Clark takes on the notoriously overpriced eyewear industry. From $800 price tags at big cartel chains down to $80 options for essentially the same pair, the price gap is staggering. We cover the latest findings on where to get the absolute best value on prescription glasses and contact lenses. Clark shares where you should – and should never – buy your next pair so you can strike the perfect balance between price, quality, and service.

Friday - Clark Stinks day! Christa shares Clark Stinks posts with Clark. Submit yours at Clark.com/ClarkStinks. Also, - how do we teach our kids and young adults about money? Managing money was simple just a few decades ago: cash was king, consumer choices were limited, and savings accounts earned fixed interest rates. Today, we live in the most over-stored country in the world, surrounded by endless retail options, online shopping, and digital payment methods like Venmo and Cash App. Money has become frictionless and abstract, making it easier than ever for young people to fall into financial traps like recurring subscriptions and impulse spending. Because the modern financial world is vastly more complex, parents can no longer rely on kids picking up smart money habits by osmosis – active teaching while they are still under your roof is essential, as Clark explains.
