Why Secondhand Shopping Is Skyrocketing & $20 Device Every Driver Needs in Their Car
Clark digs into two essential ways you can keep more money in your pocket today: the booming world of secondhand shopping and the ultimate tool to protect yourself on the road. With household costs rising, buying "pre-loved" items — from Facebook Marketplace furniture to luxury goods—has become a top strategy for 81% of Americans to save cash and cut down on waste. Also, Clark explains why every driver needs a dash cam, even if it's just a $20 model.
Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the November 9, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.
