I am my parents' retirement plan.
A weekly guide for first generation Americans and children of immigrants building wealth with no playbook, no inheritance, and no room for expensive mistakes. Housing, jobs, credit, taxes, written by someone living it, not a firm selling you something.
Free for the first 90 days. One email a week. No hustle, no hype.
Why this exists
I'm a first generation Muslim American from Khartoum, Sudan, and like a lot of you, I wasn't born into money. I spent years in corporate finance only to realize people my age with no finance background still knew more about money than I did, because someone in their family had taught them differently.
I am my own retirement plan. And my parents'.
This newsletter is the plain language guide I wish someone had handed me, built for first generation wealth builders, not the everyday investor Wall Street already knows how to talk to.

Six parts of your financial life, one at a time
Every week takes one topic and goes deep, with one clear point of view, not a summary of everything that happened.
Written for the people who are figuring it out alone
“Nobody in my family taught me this stuff. I'm figuring it out myself, one Google search at a time.”
“I worked hard to get here. Now I need my money to work as hard as I do.”
