Survey Results! Earlier this week we asked you to share your worst purchase ever. Here are a few of the submissions that we received:
Craig in Ohio: “I rented a movie on Amazon and then found out it was included in one of our streaming subscriptions. The movie was $30.”
Anna in Georgia: “Two husbands. Both bankrupted me and moved on. WORST PURCHASE EVER!”
Jassen in Georgia: “I paid a stock picker website. At one point in time the S&P 500 was up 28% while I was down 30%. Moving forward I’m investing the way Clark Howard does, the “boring way.”
Marsha in California: “I retired and bought a used RV for $30K. It is being used as a ‘she shed’ in my driveway until gas prices come back down in three or four decades.”
Eugene in West Virginia: “A timeshare. The annual maintenance fees kept going up so I decided to sell it. I discovered there was no market for a used timeshare. I got some good advice from Clark Howard about a timeshare exit company and paid them an exit fee which was very reasonable. I considered myself very lucky as I had tried several options to unload the timeshares to no avail. It was like escaping from a horrible nightmare!”
Next New Podcast: June 13 No new podcast episodes this week for a quick summer break, but Clark will be back next week! In the meantime, catch up on any episodes you may have missed.
