Think you need a high end business or a lottery-ticket stock win to hit a $1 million net worth? Think again. Clark breaks down key insights of first-time millionaires. While old-school wealth looked like owning a successful service business, modern data from Kiplinger and Fidelity proves that regular people working everyday jobs—like teachers and government employees—are achieving financial independence. Plus, Clark examines a growing real estate trend: the rise of the "accidental landlord." According to Zillow, more home sellers than ever are turning into landlords because their houses aren't selling and they can't afford to cut the price. Drawing from his own 43 years of wild landlord adventures—including non-paying tenants and unexpected damages—Clark explains why you should never take this decision lightly. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the June 17, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.

Open Google Calendar and click the gear icon, then Settings 2. In the left menu, click Event settings 3. Change "Add invitations to my calendar" from "From everyone" to either "Only if the sender is known" or "When I respond to the invitation in email". The "Only if the sender is known" option works well for most — limiting auto-added events to contacts and people you've interacted with before, so random spammers can't drop events onto your calendar anymore.
