Thinking about upgrading your TV? This might be the best opportunity in years. Clark Howard says TV prices are the lowest he's ever seen. We're talking: 📺 75-inch TVs for $500 or less 📺 85-inch TVs for around $700 Why? Because this time of year, people are spending more time outdoors and retailers are desperate to move inventory. And with World Cup excitement building ⚽, a lot of fans are realizing that a giant TV is a lot cheaper than a ticket to the game. 👉 If you've been putting off a TV upgrade, the deals available right now may not last forever.

A listener asked Clark a great retirement question on today's podcast as part of a discussion on **building retirement wealth**: 👉 **Should employer matching contributions go into a Roth 401(k)?** The answer isn't as simple as you might think. 💡 Clark Howard says for most people, the long-term benefits of Roth savings are hard to beat. Why? 📈 Tax-free growth 💰 Tax-free withdrawals in retirement 🧾 More flexibility when planning future income The tradeoff? If your employer's match goes into Roth, you'll generally pay taxes on that money now instead of later. Clark's take: for most households, building a retirement strategy that's heavily Roth-focused can create more wealth and flexibility over time. 👉 There are exceptions, but for many savers, the answer is still: **Roth, Roth, Roth, Roth.** 🎧 **Watch this and more from today's episode, where Clark discusses building retirement wealth:** YouTube.com/clark | Clark.com/podcast | Or your favorite podcast platform

A listener pointed out that when Clark recently recommended U.S. Treasuries as an alternative to savings accounts, he forgot to mention one of their biggest perks: 💡 In states with income taxes, Treasury interest is generally exempt from state income tax. That's a classic Clark Stinks! moment. Clark agreed it was an important omission and expanded on why Treasuries have become so attractive in today's higher-rate environment. Options include: ✔️ Buying directly through TreasuryDirect ✔️ Using brokerage firms like Schwab or Fidelity ✔️ Investing through low-cost Treasury funds Bonus: 💰 Potentially higher yields 💰 State tax advantages 💰 Auto-rollover options through many brokerages 👉 Higher rates and tax savings are why more investors are taking a fresh look at Treasuries. 🎧 Watch this and more from today's Clark Stinks episode:YouTube.com/clark | Clark.com/podcast | Or your favorite podcast platform #ClarkStinks #Investing #Treasuries #InterestRates #ClarkHoward #PersonalFinance

Whether you're buying from @CarMax, @Carvana, a dealership, or a private seller, that vehicle comes with a history—and not all of it may be visible on a vehicle report. Clark's rule is simple: Always get an inspection from an independent mechanic before you buy. A small inspection fee today could save you thousands in surprise repairs tomorrow. Even companies with generous return policies can't replace the peace of mind that comes from having an expert look under the hood first.
