07.11.22 Innovations in Home Building / Life Insurance & Private-Equity | Clark Howard Podcast

The US construction industry has held on to archaic ways of building, failing to adapt better technology routinely used elsewhere in the world - until now. Clark discusses how prefabrication component building is better, faster & cheaper. Now is the time to reimagine how we build to improve durability and price points. Also, for the past decade, traditional life & annuity insurers have been selling off their policies to Wall St. The risk profiles are then held by private-equity. This creates new levels of uncertainty for consumers. If you get notification of this from your insurer, should you be worried? Clark has some new recommendations.
