How Nyawira Muraguri Built Wealth Before Age 35

"You should stay in school and work hard." That's the advice many people receive. Nyawira Muraguri did that. But she also worked in her parents' business from the age of nine, negotiated aggressively throughout her career, used side hustles to clear debt, bought land with loans, stayed at home longer than most of her peers, and benefited from a support system that gave her room to take bigger risks. In this episode of Financially Incorrect, Nyawira opens up about the financial realities behind her career journey, from earning KSh 10,000 in her first job to leading communications and marketing initiatives at Samsung Electronics. She shares why salary negotiation became one of her biggest wealth-building tools, how she made and lost money through side hustles, the lessons she learned from property investing, and why COVID forced her to completely rethink her relationship with money. She conversation also explores a topic many people avoid discussing honestly: the difference between being self-made and being supported. Alongside the money conversation, Nyawira gives her perspective on AI-powered devices, the future of smartphones, privacy concerns, and how technology is changing the way we live and work. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access all our links in one place: ⁠https://lnk.bio/Financially_Inc 💹 Ready to start trading? 🧑‍🏫 Learn how to trade: https://lnk.bio/fxpesa 📲 Open a demo trading account: https://bit.ly/DemoAccountYT 📈 Start live trading: https://bit.ly/LiveAccountYT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:25 The Most Money She's Ever Imagined Making 03:58 "The Smartphone Era Is Over" 05:47 AI Devices, Meta Glasses & The Future 07:18 Working For Her Parents At Age 9 09:44 Financial Lessons She Wishes She Learned Earlier 10:47 The First Thing She Bought With Her
