Advice From a 90-Year-Old Man: Life Lessons for Happiness and Prosperity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989077408)

Steve Mucha, author of "Advice From a 90-Year-Old Man," lived through the Great Depression as a child in the working-class town of Carteret, New Jersey. His parents came over from Czechoslovakia before meeting in the United States, getting married, and starting a family. Helping his parents run a family store and other early experiences taught him not only the wisdom of saving, but how saving could help people be generous. Steve served in World War II and met his first wife while going to Swarthmore College to earn an engineering degree on the G.I. Bill. To help raise four children, mostly in the Philadelphia suburbs, he went from designing photographic printing equipment to selling it, then from being a sales manager to starting a business as a manufacturer's representative. He has long loved photography, golf, tennis, jokes and music. Remarriage and retirement brought lots of new adventures, including the writing of this book. He lives in Pennsauken, New Jersey, with his wife, Carol, three cats of their own, and about four neighborhood strays they feed. His previous book was a golf instruction book titled "How to Break 100: Golfing Shortcuts the Pros Don't Teach You" (Walker, 1982),
