Being your own Medical Advocate is your responsibility. I had an issue that I suffered for 50 years and followed a treatment until it was approved by FDA. I went to my doctor and told them about it and found a treatment facility and I am on the regiment and living life. God answered my prayers.
Hard to advocate for yourself when you’re a single mom with two little kids and feeling so sick you can barely function. No family to help. No way to drive. Too sick.
I have deleted all news sites from my devices and no longer watch any news! It’s not worth even knowing. I just live in my own little town! Very peaceful!
Be cautious calling alternative options “weirdo.” There are plenty of effective options in the natural world and many of them can be utilized alongside pharmaceutical options with great results. To throw down a blanket statement that alternatives are weird is to shut off options without even examining their potential. It wasn’t long ago that “watchful waiting” was considered a dangerous idea. Now, especially with prostate cancer, it’s a game changer. Congrats on doing that research and putting yourself in a healthier and safer position. ❤
Your city sales tax info was great. I just realized my city is the highest in the county, 2% more than many other cities around me. Here I use a cashback card,but give away money up front. You have changed my shopping habits. Thanks!
I support your position on seeking out cancer specialists. my cousin who has lots of money was taking his wife once every 6 weeks to a university hospital in another state that was specializing in her type of cancer. she has survived more than 7 years, since the diagnosis yet a local celebrity newscaster here. got the same form of cancer. and being treated locally. only survived about 6 months.
There has always been dooms day spending. People spending more than they make, that is why we hear of so many retirees barely makin it or have no savings. I think the younger generation that are making 100k or more now think they will always have a job making that or more. Some of the salaries you hear now are unbelievable especially some of the government jobs. Watched an interview with a homeland security agent making 170k , he was a supervisor, had some time in but was walking away from the job.
I saved 55% on car insurance by shopping with a broker. I ended up getting a policy through western national that was so much cheaper, had lower deductibles and more coverage.
I have two friends that have fathers who are dying from stage four prostate cancer. If they had it checked early and removed, they would have been fine. I made a promise to myself get tested. If I’m ever diagnosed with any cancer, I want to have my prostate completely removed by the aquablasion treatment. I was scared straight into being my own health advocate. I hope you get better Howard. I’ve been a fan of yours a since the 90’s.
I had Lexus that lasted more than 300,000 mi and I kept it more than 9 years maintenance was very low. Plus when you own a Lexus you can take it to a Toyota dealer for a regular maintenance such as oil changes and so forth. They cost less forest service and you have more dealers available to you.
Owned a 2015 Lexus RX350...bullet proof. When my wife decided she wanted a new car in 2022 the Lexus had a 140000 on it. When my oldest grand daughter heard she about the sale she was at our door with her checkbook!!!
It’s not “Doom Spending”. It’s young people trying to keep up with what they see on social media. If they see someone living the good life, they want to be just like that person too.
I wish I'd seen this vid before I had a kidney surgery several years ago. I did google up as much information as I was capable of and I didn't feel comfortable going through with the surgery BUT I'm "old school" and grew up poor..saw doctors very rarely. I was taught that those doctors were as close to all-knowing as one could get and to trust them unquestionably. As I aged I kept that mindset...I had "proof"...dr that delivered me treated me exclusively until he retired. He even delivered My first son lol Can't find thise doctors anymore and everyone is a specialist. Being passed from doctor to doctor doesn't afford us the time to even be familiar with any. That won't happen to me again! I'll trust my gut instinct even if what I learn is rudimentary info from google. My kidney surgery was unnecessary and did nothing at all to fix my issue however, it did cost my time from work, alot if pain and an expensive trip to a distant hospital when I later learned it was a surgery that could have been performed locally.
Prostate and Breast Cancer: Lower your Risk! - Peter Rogers, MD is a good video on the subject. Also Dean ornish prostate book and studys. Summary high fat high protein are directly related to these Cancers. Example oil obesity paralyzing artery system hypoxia causesOr suspected to cause cancer.
Americans are delusional about wealth and uneducated about the complex financial system. We should have at least one semester in high school covering basics up to saving for retirement and home buying and toes in financial markets. But FUN! Not a bone dry math class. 💀🪦
22:38 Now that everyone knows you are doing that, I hope you aren't in a county that taxes your "large purchase". Things like motor vehicles, of course, are licensed and taxed in your home county, but there are other things in some states that can bite you in the butt, that you don't even know about until someone rats you out through social media.
I have tried to call auto/home/umbrella insurers for quotes but it is hard to compare because different insurers bundle things differently and give different discounts. I found a deal that would save around $400 per year overall (roughly 18%) but I would lose the guaranteed renewal on my current auto policy. This makes it hard to figure out what would be best.
- I think you meant prepper spending for paranoid people. Luxury spending by younger people is different (and dumb). - We forget how much better we are due to science and medical advances. My ancestors lived to late 30s 500 years ago (thanks Ancestry). Grandparents to 80s. My parents to 80s and 90s. I planned to early 90s (as a man) worst case! 😂 - Great to hear about low miles is better to own. I drive very little and have a 20 year old car with 70,000 on it. The problem THEN becomes, is it garaged? If so, probably OK. Mine was not so the problem is parts aging out! I am about to take to my mechanic to replace rusted exhaust and do a check of any parts that age out like boots, hoses, belts, sensors, etc. A tip: have mechanic check and probably replace your air intake hose every 3 years. These things dry out and crack fast but most mechanics do not check them and charge you for other things NOT causing your engine light to come on and low power. He should clean the MAF too. You can also do these yourself for much much less money too! - Online insurance shopping was terrible more than a decade ago! I bet an AI doing comparing will be a game changer in the next few years! When you do shop around, always ask “Are there any other discounts?” over and over. They will not tell you! - Specialty treatment: Go to Hopkins, Mayo, Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, Stanford, etc. or your state med school like University of Iowa, UCLA, etc. But don’t delay, it might take weeks or months to get an appointment at top clinics.
Add MD Anderson to the list for cancer. They have hundreds of clinical trials ongoing all the time. My daughter is an MD Pathologist, with specialized genetics fellowship there. We talk about the amazing miracles happening there every day.
I was horrified to see the devastation in Spain. I thought things are getting so bad. I was shocked when they said it also happened in 1973. I was a teenager that year and had no idea. In fact two years later my school took us to Spain for vacation. Don’t doom spend.
Now that Trump got elected I'm spending like there is no tomorrow! New Lexus, Christmas vacation in Europe, new bathrooms and kitchen - the life is going so much more affordable, interest rates and inflation going to zero in a couple of months anyway so why not?! The Vacheron Constantin I always wanted but was afraid people were going to judge me - no more of that! Winning all around!
You forget gas going down to $1.50 per gallon, no more taxes on SS benefits, and income taxes practically going down to zero because tariffs will replace tax revenue. Yay! Let’s go shopping! 😅
@@MB-uy5kh You are correct Sir. Not to mention that tariffs will also pay for childcare, free healthcare, then no more taxes on tips, and so many other benefits that we cannot possibly imagine!
50:40 -ish Agreed, Andrea! There’s a real danger that Elon becomes vilified. The more successful he is slashing with the Dept of Gvmnt Efficiency, the more hatred he will have to absorb. Cheese will be moved. Regional or even the national economy may be shocked into a short-term recession. Powerful people will see their livelihood threatened. Many advertisers and influencers will SCREAM to their media mouthpieces. Elon may become the most hated man in America. His companies and their values may see short-term backlash. He won’t care, because he believes draconian changes are the key to long-term success.
For someone in retirement that's just looking to have fun and drive a different luxury SUV or whatever frequently wouldn't a car subscription service or just renting a month or two at a time be a better fix for their itch. Some people really get a thrill outta driving something new Clark. Mr. Boring.
Throwing a gab doesn't make you silly comment smarter. You don't have to agree with him, you can go listen to someone else who will applaud your opinion and peddle products that serve no benefit to you but makes them richer.
🕊Hi Clark&Christa I'm not putting those name brands in my walk-in closet 👜👀 Discernment in giving to any institutions 👀 Invest & Donate 💸 The second time around 🎶👸🏾
In California, if you travel to a different county to purchase a vehicle, you still have to pay the tax based on the county you live in. You're lucky, Clark.
HEY KRISTA! I watch all the time, but mostly I listen while driving in my car in my morning commute (coming out of my iphone via the car's bluetooth). TODAY, however I had you up on my computer while at work. Because you are full screen at this point for me, I NOTICED the shadows on your face. As a professional photographer, I really can't help but to let you know that your key light (the strongest light) in front of you and to your right is way way too low. If you look at this video back, you'll notice that your shadow coming from your nose goes up and back on your face. This is a definitely no-no in photography and videography. Not flattering at all. By the way, I don''t notice the same shadow pattern on Clark's face. Either that particular light on him is not the strongest (overpowering the other lights) or it's positioned higher from the ground. We have to make sure you're in the best light as you add so much to the show!! Keep up the great work (long time listener). Just as a rule of thumb, whomever is looking at the light while positioning, it's important to look for that very shadow (from the bottom creases of your nose to see what direction they're going (the shadow that's caused by the tip of your nose to your face's natural round surface). If they are going down and off the the side, then that's generally what you want (definitely not UP and off to the side). News Anchors are lit so that there is NO shadow generally (evenly lit from bottom, mid and higher positioned lights). This is fine also, of course, but not necessarily required. Looking forward to CLARK STINKS tomorrow! best episodes. : )

I checked out seven or eight years ago. There’s nothing I can do about any of it, and it’s not healthy.
I wear clothes from Walmart and people keep telling me how cute I look. I am an old lady. 🤣

My idea of "doom spending" is building up a supply of food and other necessary supplies if some thing happened to interrupt our food supply chain.
I had Lexus that lasted more than 300,000 mi and I kept it more than 9 years maintenance was very low. Plus when you own a Lexus you can take it to a Toyota dealer for a regular maintenance such as oil changes and so forth. They cost less forest service and you have more dealers available to you.
Clark knows I go across the Astoria Bridge to go shopping at Warrenton Oregon Home Depot, Costco, Harbor Freight, and Walmart,.😮
Thanks Clark & Team!
Insurance owns us. I've said this for years. They hold ALL the cards, we are completely at their mercy.
Legalized extortion!

If that is the case, then they are weak-willed and easily influenced. Media and politicians love these types of individuals.

What? I used to use an insurance broker.
The truth is most of us will make enough money to live rich or be rich, but not both.
