Demystifying Mortgages: Homebuying and Personal Finance Strategies with Brighton Gbarazia

We’re bringing back one of our favorite episodes packed with an inspiring journey of Brighton Gbarazia, CEO of Wealth Marathon, on his mission to make financial literacy accessible to all, especially when it comes to homeownership. Drawing from his background as a child of Nigerian immigrants, his journey into finance has been shaped by personal experiences, fueling his passion for helping others navigate the complexities of money management. Through his book Master Your Mortgage, Brighton sheds light on the often confusing mortgage process and emphasizes the importance of understanding true affordability, not just what the bank says you can afford.

Brighton advocates for teaching financial literacy early, particularly to children, by modeling responsible money habits at home. He stresses that financial education should be personalized, helping individuals tailor their strategies to their unique financial situation. His insights on homebuying include standing firm on budgets and being mindful of emotional decision-making, while also highlighting the importance of long-term financial strategies like investing in index funds.

For anyone looking to take control of their financial future, Brighton’s work offers invaluable insights.
