In this episode of Financially Incorrect, we sit down with Kingori Gathinji, Head of Investments and Financial Fitness at Stanbic Bank Kenya, for a candid conversation on how financial literacy can improve your relationship with money and drive long-term financial health. Kingori dives into his unique career path—from a law background to finance—and recalls starting with a 6,000-shilling intern allowance before rising through the ranks in banking and investment. Alongside his story, he offers valuable insights on setting aside 20% of income toward future goals, the importance of continuous self-investment, and the need to adapt to shifts in today’s job market. Kingori also shares personal reflections on budgeting, salary progressions, and how saving early on laid a foundation for his financial success. Through stories of his progression into treasury and the markets, he emphasizes how financial literacy is essential in navigating career growth, evolving salary expectations, and making informed financial choices. To wrap up, we explore Stanbic’s Financial Fitness Program, which helps individuals and business owners think holistically about their financial aspirations.
