Full Show: The #1 Reason Couples Argue (and How To Fix It) & Which Documents To Keep Forever

Описание: With Valentine’s Day approaching, Clark tackles one of the biggest threats to any relationship: money. Financial secrets, hidden spending, and built-up resentment can undermine even the strongest bonds. Instead of letting money issues reach a boiling point, Clark emphasizes the importance of "low-voltage" conversations. Also, Clark answers a common listener question regarding document retention. Navigating the "middle course" between being a packrat and a minimalist, Clark breaks down exactly how long you should keep your records. This guide provides a clear strategy for organizing your financial life and protecting your assets.

Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the February 4, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: https://clark.com/ask
