11: A Rocky Road

Last year I was asked by personal finance writer Jonathan Clements, who founded and edits the blog https://humbledollar.com/, to submit an essay about my own financial journey. The process required considerable personal reflection. His recently published book My Money Journey – How 30 People Found Financial Freedom provides many interesting stories. It inspired me to conduct interviews with other contributors.

This is the second episode of a series of talks with these writers. My guest Don Southward transitioned from the corporate finance and sales world to become a Unitarian minister. From his early life with gambling addiction, he learned how to heal himself and help others. He was able to integrate his values of charitable giving and effective money management. In his essay "A Rocky Road" Don shares how he had "enough" far earlier than he ever expected.
