1:57 PM | Topic: Caller tells a tale of dealing with an airline that double charged them. He has tried to work with them on the phone and at the airport to no avail. Clark recommends ALWAYS use a credit card so that you can dispute the charges. A debit card doesn't afford one that option. Good to know | briand75

2:27 PM | Topic: Clark is live in Hartford CT today. He is promoting his new book "Clark Howard - Living Large". He answers the usual excellent questions on finances, retirement and such. Example: should a woman retire at 62? Clark suggests not to. If a woman lives into her 80's it can happen that there is not enough income. | briand75
