Full Show: What Clark Says You Should Do With Your I Bonds This Year and "No Show" Fee Warning

I bonds have been a really popular place to park cash over the last few years because of the high interest rate. The rate was 9.62% in 2022, but the fixed rate was 0%. Now, the rate is 4.28% – but the new 1.3% fixed rate is set for the life of the bond. If you purchased I bonds in the last few years, what should you do? Clark shares a key strategy to help you earn the most on your money. Also, “no show” fees are popping up at restaurants, hair salons, and other common places. Clark explains what you need to know before you book an appointment.

Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the May 22, 2024, episode of The Clark Howard Show.
