Full Show: Clark Stinks! and When Should You Cut Off Adult Children Financially?

[@ForgingFreedomTV]

The thing about adult kids. That’s called economic outpatient care. People with true wealth do not do this. This is addressed in depth in a book called the millionaire next door. You are setting your kids up for failure by participating in this, because you won’t always be around and they won’t have learned to be self-sufficient. They will blow through their inheritance, if there is one and end up in poverty.

[@alexwyler4570]

Mr Clark should use the expression the expression Save our Habitat. the planet will survive.

[@Spanish-wo9jk]

Keeping interest rates artificially low for so long did not PREVENT a great depression, it only DELAYED it. Government agencies cannot keep us prosperous or stop rich people from owning the legislators and bureaucrats; the principals in the original U.S. Constitution and free markets do that. If you want a depression, give the government more power.

[@susanroby1010]

Hi! Last week you spoke about getting rid of the storage unit, this week is cutting off adult children. Well as it turns out, I have been paying for my adult son's storage unit for about 3 years now. I just told him recently that I just can't afford to do it anymore. It started out as a low rate and kept going up. Now I am trying to tell him to downsize to a less expensive unit. I started weaning almost a year ago and hope he will pay from now on. It is really adding up.

[@emc6511]

Maybe forward the bill to him. If it does not pay on time then they will "handle it" instead of you.😅

[@one4blondes]

I never understood the relationship people have with their stuff that they're willing to pay to house it separately from where they currently live.😮

[@737smartin]

What are the odds that the replacement value of the stuff in the unit is more than what you've paid to store it for three years?

[@Musicmanbutte]

When you consider yourself an adult. You should be responsible enough to make your own money. Parents raise you and that cost enough money so they should be off the hook when you leave home. If you want to consider yourself adulting then you shouldn't still expect an allowance from your parents. That's ridiculous.

Great show ! Love Clark stinks (even though he doesn’t ). We all learn from the Clark Stinks segment. I was recently watching a video about mortgages and the interviewee was a mortgage professional. This person said 85% of mortgages are owned by the government. The government buys the mortgage from the lender sometimes within minutes of the transaction. The government wants the mortgage securities for liquidity. You may think your mortgage is through a bank or mortgage lender but probably it’s not . The same with student loans most are government funded. The professional also said if the government were to no longer buy up the mortgages there would be no real estate market. The government is heavily involved in the mortgage industry. This fall before the election there is talk of a new homeowners program. Some families are supporting adult children and this enabling will not allow a person to be independent and learn skills to be responsible and resourceful. I hope families continue to have children! The sacrifices are worth it IMO. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend Clark, Christa and Clarkies 🇺🇸

The part regarding electric cars that scares me is making and recycling the batteries. Plus when they catch on fire they can't put them out quickly.

[@CarsBikesBoats7]

In 1983 as a 24 year old I had a 15% 3 year ARM... Fixed rate would have been 17%+.

[@TheLifetraveler1]

Yes I find it amazing these young people whining about 7% mortgages today. I have a 13 percent mortgage and eventually got it down to 11%. And I still managed to save and buy a house. These kids are making four times what I mean when I got out of college and the couches cost four times as much. To me that's not that big of a deal m

[@brendashope1558]

I tried to be very open and vocal about our family expenses as I raised my kids. I am still helping them financially in some ways, but they are all in school and recognize our sacrifices.

[@Crf-nr9jy]

Two things can be true at once. First, Clark is correct there were stupid lending practices made by the banks and investments houses in 2008 but government push for housing for low income people did not help. Best indication of this was the fact that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were laden with subprime mortgages and were taken over by the Fed (effectively). This was done despite Fannie's charter saying they can only purchase safe mortgages. So you had a system where the government pushed bad mortgages and lowered lending standards that banks would not have tolerated otherwise, once banks did this housing prices increased and they made tons of money which caused them to push looser standards, you then had GSO entities which effectively purchases those bad loans effectively offloading the risk and the cycle just kept repeating until it was unsustainable. Much like COVID, everyone involved did not come out clean.

hey, I made it to clark howard. having had to deal with idiot bankers, it's just f'ing bad I saw a great deal, refinanced my 30 year loan to 2% at 15 years and knocked of 10 years of payments. Sucks to be them. Am I stuck here? Well, this is my forever home, I'm retiring this year and over the last 5 years I grabbed interest rates at dirt cheap. Now, my mortgage and HI loan make no sense to pay off. Boo hoo. As far to your specific idea, Clark, never discount the words of Ronald Reagan, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." The entire 2008 crash was caused by the government. Frank and Dodd and Clinton were complete tools. Be careful what you wish for.

[@retired8484]

You definitely should not have published that NAR sales pitch! Those criminals need to be shut down!

[@montezuma6962]

In regards to the last call... Most long term estimates of housing appreciation come in between 3.5 - 4.1%. I can't speak for the 1971-1993 time frame but for the average 22 year span, prices would rise about 125%. Far from a quadruple.

@@lindap.p.1337 $86K house bought 38 years ago @3.5% is $320K. So, you're right at the national average. Interestingly, the same dollar amount invested in the S&P500 over the same time period, would be worth $4.8 million.

[@retired8484]

@@lindap.p.1337 I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a house. Especially if staying in the same house for 38 years, you should buy a house. But strictly as an investment, that's a poor return. It's roughly 3.5% average, but it's actually way less than that after you factor in the $150K or more expenses over that time period. Still, you have to live somewhere, so buying is better than renting in this case, but don't confuse it with investing.

[@javaskull88]

The core of the housing problem is the supply-demand imbalance. We should encourage more homebuilding, possibly through subsidized lending or tax incentives. Simultaneously we need more skilled trades to build and maintain those homes, so reduced tuition or other incentives for students. Expensive? Yes, but cheaper than subsidizing the homeless industrial complex.

David is completely wrong. Renting only would have cost him money because he coincidentally moved when interest rates were 0%. If he happened to move when interest rates were high and then moved in the opposite direction, the same decision could have cost him an equal amount of money instead

[@TheLifetraveler1]

That is part of the new generation clark. My boomer generation of those of us between 55 and 70 never did that kind of thing. We were told once you get out of college you go get a job and have a great day. This new generation in general appears to be a little bit spoiled. Also with unrealistic expectations. I paid 13% on the first house I bought out of college. So I find it amusing that they consider 7% a big deal.

@@lenblack1462 yes I think it's possible. I was making $25,000 and I bought a house worth $90,000. Many recent graduates including my niece came out of college making more than $100,000. So a 350,000 house should not be a big deal if, they are not trying to take off a year to go find themselves, or take a vacation for a year, or volunteer for the peace corps, or wasting their money on stupid stuff that makes no sense. I know young people who immediately got out of college and bored a Mercedes or BMW and are trying to do the high lifestyle. And have no money for something of true value like a house.

[@kati-ana]

My parents never did a thing for me. At age 10 they set me to work if I wanted new clothes for school otherwise I'd have to wear clothes with holes and patched together. Shoes NAILED together. Which would cut through my feet. My older sister was treated like a queen, the youngest sister was treated like a princess. Me and my eldest sister were treated like hated orphans. My eldest sister and I were the only two who grew up and worked for a living while the Queen and Princess lived off the parents. Queen was supported by the mother. Princess by the father. My eldest sister and I always understood clearly if we needed help coming home was never ever an option. Eldest and I never had children. What Queen and Princess were taught was to be lazy, arrogant, entitled and mean spirited. STOP supporting your adult entitled brats.
