It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show.

Our mission is to serve you and empower you so you make better financial decisions in

your life.

A little later in today's show, I'm going to talk about how if you are a spring graduate,

high school, trade school, college, whatever, that this is the greatest time ever to be

a grad and I'm going to talk about taking advantage of that.

But before we get to talking about the great job market, we're going to talk about me not

being so great in our Clark Stink segment.

You get to hear where people have a beef with me because they feel like I gave bad advice,

that guidance, bad information.

I should have never encouraged you to speak.

You know what you think I'm pretty stupid.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Well, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe you're right, pal.

Clark's recent advice I'm waiting to reach a third of a tank of gas before price shopping

If you don't believe you can get seriously hurt trying to buy a few gallons of gas right

before a hurricane, then you didn't witness some of the outrageous behavior that occurred

in Houston before Hurricane Rita's evacuation.

By having your supplies ahead of time and particularly keeping your vehicles gas tank

at least half full at all times, those in Hurricane prone areas can greatly reduce stress
