“Wake Up and Smell the Coffee”
Last week I was a guest at a client’s weekly business coffee hour where popular consumer expert and radio show host Clark Howard addressed the audience about their retirement plan. Besides his customary tidbits on personal finance Clark also offered some budget travel and technology consumer insights. “Save more, spend less and avoid rip-offs” were themes embedded in his messages. With an average age in the room of 25-30 years old he was very popular, and of course, many were interested in his ideas of the latest thing – smart phones, cars, investments, etc.
