0:00.0	It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show. Our mission is to serve you and
0:10.0	empower you so you make better financial decisions in your life. Today, standing desks are
0:17.5	all the rage. I've used one for years, but it's actually good for my health or bad for
0:25.1	my health. I got new info for you. And later, inflation supply shortages were really getting
0:33.9	into the idea of buying used. And I want to talk to you about where you find the deals. So,
0:42.2	I've had this thing about standing desks forever. When I do the podcast, I stand the whole
0:49.8	time. When I did radio all through the decades, I stood, I stand for TV. I hated it when I
1:00.1	did TV where they had me in an anchor kind of desk and I had to sit on one of those stupid

2:14.9	I'm asking you, set the stopwatch on your phone for two minutes and just walk for two minutes
2:23.4	each hour. And that alone will help your health. And there, oh, there's Christa. So you just did
2:32.5	your two minutes. Yep. Just got my little alarm. Sorry about that. Didn't Ross. It was on.
2:37.8	So did you walk your two minutes? No. Well, you're standing my phone ringing in. I
2:41.9	yeah, didn't. You're on. Hey, look, I was playing along. I was making it sound like you. I know.
2:48.2	I know. I know. I know. Sorry. I can't. You are so genuine. I can't like. Okay. But you stand
