The Five Wealth Currencies: A Holistic Journey From Welfare To Millionaire - Paperback

by Njeri Gichia-Broussard (Author)

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 $40,000 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.
