From $19,000 a Year to Financial Freedom (Joseph Moore)

Joseph Moore grew up in rural South Carolina, the son of an electrician who worked during the day and went to school at night. Money wasn't discussed in his house (there wasn't enough of it to make conversation). Today, Moore is a historian and author of the national bestseller How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn’t) (https://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Rich-A...) who achieved financial freedom in his mid-40s. But the path there was anything but straight: a detour through seminary, a near-financial disaster in 2008, and a decade spent asking the question that would define his career — where does our financial advice actually come from? Chris Hill talks with him about: The $56.56 mortgage payment that haunted his grandfather and shaped Moore's relationship with debt Why developing a "peasant mentality" about money is not all bad How marriage, more than almost anything else, predicts financial success What the animated movie Ratatouille gets right about wealth and talent Discover Mar Mar (http://www.ilovemarmar.com) , the chili garlic flavor that goes on everything.
