The Five Wealth Currencies

<p>When I left home at 17 in June of 1992 I had a net worth of $0. From the time I got pregnant at 19 I was on WIC and food stamps. When my first husband left me and wasn't paying child support I had to go on AFDC ( aka welfare). At the time President Clinton had signed the Welfare to Work Act so I had one year to figure out how I was going to support myself and my 2-year-old son while finishing school in chemical engineering. When my first marriage ended at 22 years old I was left with over $40000 in debt in 1997 and I had no idea what I was going to do. So how did I go from welfare to millionaire over the last 25 years? I explore that through the five wealth currencies I've identified that helped me achieve that milestone over the years.</p>
