It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show, where it's all about you and

that wall of the yours.

Coming up later, Clark Stinks, that's where you get to hear what people are unhappy with

me about, what things they feel like I've been wrong about, or just plain dumb.

So I want to talk about something that's plain dumb.

You working too much.

So I want to give you an example for my own life where Clark healed I self.

Our son is obsessed with cruises.

He just loves going on cruises.

Not really my thing, but it's what he enjoys the most.

So we take him on cruises and we tend to go on two different mid-price cruise lines.

And one of these cruise lines has very fast internet.

It's always on and it's unlimited use on the ship, as long as you pay the fee for the

internet.

And then the other cruise line has pretty pokey slow internet and they give you a certain

number of minutes of internet use for your time on the cruise.

But it's very limited and you can't do much with the internet.

What I've discovered is that when we go on a cruise with the cruise line that gives

the unlimited really robust internet, I end up working while I'm on the cruise.

I'm responding to working emails and engaging in video chats and having meetings and all

that while I'm supposedly on vacation.

And we're on the other cruise line that has the puny rotten internet and very limited.
