CLARK HOWARD'S LIVING LARGE FOR THE LONG HAUL

Theo Thimou Mark Meltzer Clark Howard

Consumer-Tested Ways to Overhaul Your Finances, Increase Your Savings, and Get Your Life Back on Track

In this follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Living Large in Lean Times, Clark Howard is back with profiles of people thriving in the new Great Recession—and those who aren’t doing so well—with takeaway financial tips from each story.
The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. But to many people, it feels as if we're still in a recession. Joblessness remains too high, home values are too low, and people everywhere are struggling.

In his last book, Clark Howard offered hundreds of great tips on how to save money. Since Howard wrote that, it’s become clear that not only do we need to save for the short term, but we also need to think of lean times as something that may be with us for years. How do we proceed with the new rules of the game?

Howard introduces readers to people who are not just surviving in the new paradigm, but thriving, and shares their fascinating stories. He also provides glimpses of some people whose financial lives have gone off course. As readers get to know each of these fascinating people, Howard shows what lessons you can take away to help you make better, long-term decisions in your life.

Readers need to know there’s a world of possibilities and opportunities, even at a time when things seem bleak. Howard will inspire them to make smart decisions now, so when things do rebound—and they will, eventually—they will be in excellent financial shape. Clark Howard is a nationally syndicated consumer expert who advises people how to save more, spend less, and avoid getting ripped off. His radio show is heard every day on more than 200 radio stations throughout North America. He is also co-host of HLN’s nightly news program Evening Express. Mark Meltzer is executive editor at The Atlanta Business Chronicle. Theo Thimou is director of content for ClarkHoward.com.

The message that comes through in Living Large for the Long Haul is that whatever the reason for a financial setback, we are not helpless. If nothing else, we have control over how we react to that loss. Addressing the situation and responding with long-term goals in mind can help you, not only weather tough times, but flourish.

Living Large for the Long Haul signifies more than a collection of hints for saving (and making) money. It cements Howard as a kind of economist folk hero—a polo-shirted intellectual who can communicate more useful, constructive policy analysis in one chapter than Thomas Friedman gets across in a year of Times op-eds.
