A book about life lessons learned the hard way: surviving divorce, the loss of a loved one, Parkinson’s disease, and financial hardship with a sense of humor.  

Marry for Money, You'll Learn to Love Later is an incredibly interesting book which describes the unbelievable mistakes we make in life, how we cope with them into the future, and what are the lessons learned from this thing called life! The story is mixed with a sense of sarcastic humor but always stressing the benefits of humor. It is also a story of hope and encouragement as the author fights a battle that his dad, his hero, lost to Parkinson's disease.

The Purpose of Life: just one of the issues Marry for Money, You’ll Learn to Love Later seeks to address.

Author Roger Geronimo asks: What is life really all about? Why are we here? Is there any purpose to our existence? These are questions that have been asked over and over again for centuries and centuries. Well I believe I have found the answer - now that I am totally broke and deteriorating thanks to Parkinson’s disease!

Life’s a bitch and then you find God: spiritual growth and healing through humor, humanity, and forgiveness.

The sarcastic sense of humor in me concludes the following about human existence here on planet earth - "LIFE'S A BITCH, THEN YOU MARRY ONE (TWO IN MY CASE) AND THEN YOU DIE" !!

However, the real me has slowly discovered that we are all on a journey here on earth. The journey is intended not to be an easy one. It is intended for us to learn from the decisions we make using our free will. There is much pain, suffering, disappointment, hurt, anger, and sorrow. And hopefully…. forgiveness. There is no hell I believe. You are living it everyday - the good and the bad! A lot more bad than good!

What is it all for? It is for all of us to learn and to grow as human creatures and to eventually flourish in a place where we will discover peace, love, harmony - Where? In the hereafter - In that warmth of the Light we hear so much about from people returning from the dead. In my mind - that Light is better known as God! That is our eventual reward for everything that is tossed our way here on earth. If we learn our lessons well here than we shall be that much closer to the warmth of the Light in the hereafter. If we learn little and cause much pain and anguish to others than we shall be the farthest from the Light but always given opportunities to proceed forward. We do this by realizing our indiscretions and asking for forgiveness for our actions on earth when arriving in the hereafter and then performing duties and working toward the Light.

An inspirational and realistic self-help memoir of semi-autobiographical fiction…

As you read the book I will allow you to make your own judgments. As you read on and we share the good times and the pitiful times, always with a sense of humor I hope, I will honestly try to elaborate on the lessons of life learned from this journey that has been all too short. Perhaps through me you can make adjustments and, just perhaps, not do the same stupid things that I have done so many times in the last half century.Whether you’re dealing with divorce, life after divorce, financial problems, a change in careers, the loss of a close loved one, or just want to know the story of someone older and wiser, then this book is for you.
