I'm so glad you're with us here on the Clark Howard Show where it's about your empowerment

with knowledge so that you can save more and spend less.

Coming up in today's Clark Rages moment, this is the third summer in a row that I've

had to talk about kids getting in trouble with the law for opening a lemonade stand.

and that is non-traditional players offering a better deal to people than the lumbering

It allows you to invest small amounts of money.

It allows you to have any of a number of services like you're used to with a bank account.

The Acorns card is something that there's so much demand for that they ran out of the

cards they anticipated handing out over the next year all in just days.
