Being first-gen means money isn’t simple. You’re building wealth in America while carrying family obligations across oceans. You’re the “family retirement plan,” the safety net, the success story — all at once.

The Financial Engineer with Chukwudi Uraih (engineer, Army vet, financial advisor, and first-gen Nigerian-American) is the podcast built for you. Each week, we break down money with cultural context, humor, and systems that actually work.

From budgeting when your family relies on you, to investing with confidence, to climbing the wealth ladder from survival → stability → freedom, this show is your roadmap. No fluff, no guilt — just strategies that honor both your legacy and your future.

If you’re a first-gen STEM or healthcare professional ready to build wealth without burning out, welcome home.
