Lifestyle Inflation, Divorce & Building Wealth Again | Pumla Nabachwa| Uganda Edition

In this episode of Financially Incorrect Uganda edition, we sit down with Pumla Nabachwa, economist at the Bank of Uganda and financial literacy educator, for one of the most honest conversations about money, independence, and life decisions.

From growing up believing she was poor despite privilege, to navigating marriage, separation, single parenting, and rebuilding financial stability, Pumla shares how money quietly shapes the choices we can make and the situations we can leave.

She opens up about lifestyle inflation after career growth, the emotional side of financial decisions, and why financial literacy alone is not enough without discipline and self-awareness. The conversation explores gender roles in financial responsibility, co-parenting after divorce, and the importance of emergency funds in protecting personal freedom.

This episode goes beyond budgeting and investing. It examines money as security, dignity, and peace of mind.

If you’ve ever wondered whether financial independence truly changes life outcomes, this conversation answers that question with lived experience.
