0:00.0	Welcome to the Clark Howard Show. This is Krista, Clark's producer, obviously not Clark,
0:11.8	with a programming note for today's show. Clark has lost his voice, which makes it very
0:17.2	hard to do a podcast. He has a cold and he's hoping to be back in the saddle tomorrow,
0:23.5	but couldn't make it in today. So I thought I'd do something different today and pull
0:28.3	together some segments. You may or may not have heard from the past. If you're a new listener
0:33.6	to this podcast, this is not your usual episode. You can go back and listen to the last few episodes
0:40.5	we've done. You can watch Clark on YouTube. We have a YouTube channel and also Clark's website,
0:47.5	Clark.com has money advice that you can trust and use. We have newsletters. Our team works so
0:54.2	hard around the clock to create great information for you to help you keep more money in your wallet,
0:59.0	which is what Clark always tells us is our guiding light and principle in everything that we do.

1:26.0	I've ever met and he is frugal with himself more than anything, but he is also an incredibly
1:32.2	generous boss. He is so kind. I was just at his habitat build this past weekend. He's building
1:40.0	homes 94 and 95. I think I was at. He's hoping to hit 100 homes that he's personally sponsored
1:47.9	in the next year and just very grateful to work for him. So I'm throwing that out there. He'll
1:52.9	probably never hear this, but that is the truth. So on to the show. The first segment I'm going to play
2:00.0	is about taking early retirement and Clark talks about some of the perils of that,
2:06.7	things that you should consider. And then he also talks about social security and when to take
2:12.0	social security. And then later on, I've got a classic Clark piece about the secrets to saving
2:19.1	money in his favorite places, particularly Costco. And I also at the end have a really inspiring
