Before Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso reached millionaire status - she's worth an estimated $250 million - she was broke, dumpster diving, and a frequent shoplifter.

She credits part of her financial revival to George S. Clason's "The Richest Man in Babylon," she explains in her book "#GIRLBOSS."

The 1926 personal finance classic offers money advice in a collection of parables based in the ancient city of Babylon. It follows the story of Arkad, the son of a humble merchant who grows to become the richest man in Babylon. Arkad then shares the "secret to wealth" with the rest of the city, starting with what he calls the "seven cures for a lean purse."

Here are the "seven cures," in Clason's words and ours.
