00:00 - Intro
03:05 - Clark Stinks - You said Temu was safe to shop, but ignored the data privacy concerns and its China ties. Even Kim Komando says to delete the app. – Jessie
03:52 - Clark Stinks - How did your electric bill drop to $12 with solar if you live in a condo—and didn’t you once say it was $4,000 when your son lived with you? – Steve
05:07 - Clark Stinks - You raved about spray foam insulation, but my bills haven’t dropped, and now I hear it can harm roofs, health, and resale value. – Kristen
07:37 - Clark Stinks - A market downturn doesn’t automatically mean a Roth conversion is smart—it’s all about tax rate arbitrage. – Marc
08:46 - Clark Stinks - You used to say Roth was far superior, so I went all-in. Now you say I need both Roth and Traditional? That strategy wrecked my taxes. – Alex
10:34 - Clark Stinks - You warn against non-refundable hotel bookings, but then say you use Priceline. Isn’t that non-refundable? – Fred
12:49 - Clark Stinks - You missed a key HSA perk: reimbursements have no expiration. We’re saving receipts now to cash in later. – Todd
14:29 - Controversial Solution for Super Speeders
19:06 - Ask Clark - Have you looked into AblePay Health and are there any downsides I should consider before using it to pay medical bills at a discount? (Kyle in Pennsylvania)
21:05 - Ask Clark - We have leaky, drafty windows in a townhouse we’ll leave in 3–5 years—should we spend $46K replacing them or just patch and wait to sell? (Dylan in Illinois)
23:20 - Ask Clark - If someone crashes a rental truck into a building, does standard auto insurance cover the damage—and why doesn’t U-Haul push their insurance more? (Dan in Florida)
