Evolving Workplace Culture and the Traffic Dilemma

In today’s episode - It’s a nightmare to feel like you’re in over your head financially. Clark discusses the money traps that accompany our two largest monthly expenses: housing and transportation costs - and how to avoid them. Also - 2025 is bringing back pre-Covid work culture, including more return-to-office mandates. That and other factors mean heavier metro traffic. Clark has a commuter strategy to keep in mind.
