Advice From a 90-Year-Old Man: Life Lessons for Happiness and Prosperity

Stories, wisdom and financial tips from a man who's been around longer than TV, chocolate-chip cookies and ballpoint pens. As a child during the Great Depression, author Steve Mucha learned how his parents turned hard times into good times. As a father and businessman, he learned the necessity of financial planning and secrets of selling things. His memoir, "Advice From a 90-Year-Old Man," though, is about much more than money. It's about a plunge on a sled into a frozen lake. A mother's kindness to folks near and far. Catching 100 fish in a single day. A brother's heroism at Pearl Harbor. Fillings picking up radio stations. The joys of family, sports, music and much more. Readers will find lots of answers: What are some secrets to a thriving marriage? What's an easy way to cut your golf score without cheating? What's it like being very, very old? "Advice From a 90-Year-Old Man" is one man's sharing of simple but important lessons, expressed with humor, and including some good, clean jokes.

About the Author
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),
