You can get from one end of the United States to the other in hours, whereas in the not terribly distant past, it would have taken months. But one minor inconvenience is waiting in long security lines. We got reminded of that earlier this year when some federal budget funding lapses caused TSA staffing shortages. Thankfully, there are some “shortcuts” you can take. One of those, which Clark and his team have discussed for years, is TSA PreCheck. Well, there’s incredible news if you’re a fan. The TSA PreCheck Touchless ID program is now available at 65 airports in the United States. If you already have TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, instead of showing your ID and boarding pass, you just walk through a dedicated lane. The technology verifies you with a quick photo. These “hands-free security lines” can be huge time-savers. And you can opt in via your airline profile. You’ll need to enter your Known Traveler Number (KTN), your passport number and country. Make sure the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator appears on your mobile boarding pass, or you won’t be able to enter the dedicated TSA PreCheck Touchless ID lane. The airports with Touchless ID include Atlanta, JFK and LaGuardia in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago O’Hare and more. 📊 Stat of the Day 🎤 $217 million: Worldwide box office generated by the Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” in its first weekend.

Take a close look at your bank statements and identify the "subscription creep" that’s draining your wallet. A great pro-tip is to designate one specific credit card for all subscriptions; it simplifies your tracking and ensures you know exactly where your money is going every month. Remember, ignorance isn't bliss when it’s your hard-earned cash flying out the door for services you no longer use. Also, despite their notorious reputation, timeshares — now often rebranded as "vacation ownership" — have seen a massive resurgence, with 10 million Americans now invested. Big-name hotel brands have put a shiny new coat of paint on these contracts, offering "points" and flexibility instead of the old-school fixed week and location. Clark’s advice remains unchanged: don't let the dream of easy travel turn into a permanent financial obligation you can't escape. Watch the Full Episode ☎️ Need Money Help?
