so many folks can thank Clark for his years of promoting TUG in helping them find us in time to actually get the info they were looking for and avoid being scammed!

please be sure to leave a thank you note on that page, his facebook page, or his website!


I'm a big fan of Clark Howard, in fact, he was the one that led me to TUG about 13 years ago. Only problem is:
"... Howard’s advice on timeshares has been consistent and straight to the point: “Do NOT buy a timeshare EVER.”
I wish he would realize there are those of us that love our (bought resale) timeshares.

i think youd find most financial advisers would give the same advice these days! it would be a long and lengthy process to tell someone "in most cases buying a timeshare is a terrible idea, except....."

at least Clark doesnt shill for advertising dollars for the upfront fee companies like some other very popular advisers do!

Sadly Clark Howard is a dying breed. You would think that there would be newcomers popping up around social media, but telling people to be careful with their money doesn't exactly catch eyes. I wonder if a young Clark could get any traction in today's world of clickbait.
