The More Money Podcast clarifies confusing things about money to help listeners maximize wealth. Host Jessica Moorhouse founded MoorMoney Media and the Millennial Money Meetup series. She started the blog Mo' Money, Mo' Houses in 2011. Its popularity prompted this show.
Moorhouse had a happy childhood and wasn't impoverished. But her family didn't have extra money for allowance, college, or fun treats. Moorhouse put herself through college while living at home and working 30 hours per week. She wanted her children to have better options than that. Moorhouse began researching finance. She shares her expertise and interviews wealth experts on the podcast.
The More Money Podcast teaches listeners how to set a budget, save money, and start an emergency fund. Moorhouse focuses more on earning than saving. She believes building wealth is the best strategy. For college, the host suggests parents pay tuition and students pay living expenses. Moorhouse says people waste more money when it isn't theirs. She also says people shouldn't fear debt. They should manage it but use it to their advantage. An example is buying a car with cash versus using a low-interest loan and investing the money instead.
Wealth experts appear often on the More Money Podcast. One is Gabe Dunn, a podcaster, actor, and New York Times bestselling author. They talk about financial confusion. Their childhood involved parental addiction and periods of excessive spending followed by worry. The guest went to Emerson instead of attending a Florida college for free, leaving them with serious debt. Dunn saw a tattoo artist decline to give an 18-year-old a neck tattoo because that was a big decision at that age. Yet Dunn's college loan officer didn't hesitate to let an 18-year-old make a big debt decision. They tried pawning, shoplifting, and delivering Postmates to afford life. Despite books, a podcast, and a stand-up career, money remains the thing that makes Dunn cry the most.
