Creating Financial Freedom: Breaking Barriers as a First-Generation Wealth Builder (Episode 33)
In this episode of #CreditChatLive, we welcome Uziel Gomez, CFP®, AFC® , founder of Primeros Financial , a firm dedicated to empowering first-generation wealth builders to take control of their finances and build wealth intentionally. Uziel shares his personal journey as a first-generation college graduate and financial professional, explaining how navigating financial systems without a blueprint inspired him to help others facing similar challenges. Uziel discusses the unique barriers first-generation wealth builders can encounter, including limited access to financial knowledge and the responsibility of supporting family members while pursuing their own financial goals. He emphasizes the importance of understanding where your money is going, balancing today's priorities with your future and creating a financial plan that reflects your personal values rather than traditional definitions of success. The conversation also explores family, culture and the complexities of building wealth while staying connected to your roots. Uziel shares guidance on navigating financial responsibilities to parents and loved ones, understanding the trade-offs of those decisions and having intentional conversations about money and shared goals. Join us as Uziel Gomez shares practical strategies for turning financial complexity into clarity and creating a financial future on your own terms.
