07.13.26 How Much $ Is In Your Payment App? / Weddings: Less Is More Forever

Use payment apps? How much? Clark has a major warning about a serious financial risk hiding in plain sight: storing your hard-earned cash inside payment apps like PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App. While these platforms are convenient for sending money, a shocking number of people use them like regular bank accounts to store large sums of money. Therein lies a dangerous reality that could cost you plenty.   Also, millennials are rethinking life milestones, especially when it comes to weddings. A recent story of a beautiful $5,000 wedding proves that you don’t need to bury yourself in debt to celebrate love. If you want to spend a fortune and you have the cash, go for it—but if you want to start your marriage on a stronger financial footing, younger generations are proving you can have an unforgettable, gorgeous wedding at a crazy inexpensive price. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the July 13, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: Ask Clark.
