LOL
I have heard Clark tell people to only buy his books out of the remainder bins.
Really.
He also says to get them from the library or wait until after Christmas when people put them on the Craigslist. For the meet-and-great I think you have buy a copy of the book.
I decided to pick up the kindle version of this, just to see what this guy is about. I admit to having only read bits and pieces, but so far it seems geared toward people who haven't the first clue about personal finance; seems insulting to the intelligence of probably most adults these days. So far everything is a case study, like about a couple that had tens of thousands of debt, and how they dug out of it. How did they get there? Well it seems their weakness was visiting casinos with their credit cards (I didn't even know that was possible).
Hope it will get more interesting, so far it's reading a lot like the old Charles Givens books, a tip here or there that's probably good for someone 18-20 just learning how to build up credit and manage the basics of life, etc.
I'm guessing he puts on a good radio show and that's why the interest in the book?
I too think he's a great guy. I used to listen to his show, but he seems a bit out of touch sometimes with income and cost of living. I know he tries to give good advice, but it seems most people don't make enough money these days to save for anything. they just make enough to survive.
