New Book For Women Who Want To Earn More And Worry Less

Although nearly half of working women in the United States are now their household's main breadwinner, the majority of women still aren't raised to think like breadwinners. In fact, they're actually discouraged from building their own wealth, pursuing their full earning potential, and providing for themselves and others financially.

Financial expert Jennifer Barrett addresses the issue in her new book "Think Like A Breadwinner: A Wealth-Building Manifesto for Women Who Want to Earn More (and Worry Less)."

Jennifer Barrett is the Chief Education Officer at Acorns, a financial wellness app with more than 8.5 million users, and the founding editor of its popular money site, Grow.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
