Have to get the money from somewhere. according to the book he was broke so he could not marry Bell.
He started with very little. From a sign on his building it said "Importer of fine goods and china." Many a wealthy started as importers back then. So he was an importer and then got into money loaning. He probably partnered with Marley as an importer (Marley probably have connections to get started), but loaning money was less risky and with higher returns and they were getting to old for traveling.
