A man made of money

"A Man Made of Money" by Douglas William Jerrold is a funny story set in the 1800s, about a guy named Solomon Jericho who has money problems and a wife who always wants more. He and his wife, Mrs. Jericho, argue a lot because they owe people money, and she is always asking him for cash so they can look wealthy. The book pokes fun at how people care too much about what others think, the difficulties of being married, and how silly it is to try and seem richer than you are. The story begins with Mr. and Mrs. Jericho fighting about their money situation, and it shows how hard Mr. Jericho tries to hide that he is not actually rich. As he thinks about his problems, he creates scenarios that pull him in different directions, deepening the conflict between him and his wife. Overall, expect lots of funny moments, problems with money, and a look at how people try to appear more successful than they really are.
