E1: My Money Story – From Survival to Financial Independence

💡 The Financial Engineer Podcast kicks off with the story that started it all. I didn’t grow up with a wealth plan. I grew up with rent, food, and transportation fighting like WWE champions for my parents’ paycheck. As a first-generation Nigerian-American, I inherited more than my family’s resilience — I inherited the pressure to be the “family retirement plan.” In this episode, I share:How losing both my parents reshaped my view of time and moneyWhy high income doesn’t guarantee financial securityThe cultural money scripts that keep first-gen professionals stuckThe systems I built to reach financial independence at 37If you’ve ever looked at your paycheck and thought, “Where is all this money going?” — this is your episode. 🎧 Listen in for real talk, cultural truth, and a new way to engineer your financial future. If you want, I can also make a shorter, punchier version of this for YouTube or Instagram captions so it hits fast and boosts clicks. Want me to do that?
