+1 for Clark. Suze & Dave seem to just bash the guests on the show about everything you SHOULDN'T do, while clark focuses on the positives and guides you to what you SHOULD do. Big difference.
There's also a "big difference" between dealing with someone who is $10K upside down in their current car loan and thinks the best option is to trade the car off and roll that loan into a new car (typical Ramsey caller) and someone who wants to know if he should buy an extended warranty for his new washing machine (typical Howard caller).
Something else to consider is they are wealthy. They didn't get that way doing the 9-5 thing. Well let me rephrase that Clark did but his money came from selling his business. Also remember they give out general advice and they change their advice per the economy..
This post makes about as much sense as saying "Why watch 'Hannah Montana' when you could watch 'Face the Nation.'"
They aren't interchangeable. Each serves a different target audience. Dave Ramsey primarily gives advice dealing with getting our of debt. Clark Howard primarily gives advice on how to get the most for your money. I believe both give honest advice to their respective audiences. And I don't see any reason why a person wouldn't listen to both.
You beat me to it - if someone listens to both hosts and somehow can't discern how each one has different target audiences shows that this is another weak "I hate (am jealous of) Dave Ramsey" topic.:rolleye
Unless Scooby-Doo and Law & Order are meant for the same target audience, too.....
The one thing overlooked is that each one makes money telling other people about money. They make beaucoup buckaronies.
(I'm in the wrong business).
They basically built a "brand" around their name and convinced enough people to listen to them consistently and what they are saying, which in turn made them quite wealthy.
I'm not saying what they did was hard or easy for that matter, but there's a lot of televangelists out there that have become insanely wealthy having the sheeple listen to what they want to hear!

Yup.
AGAIN, I'm in the WRONG business!
I can read and spout out bible verses, and interpret tgem, too.
Just like I can tell people what to do with their money!!!!
