Ahmed and the Million-Dollar Wishlist | Muslim Kids Podcast

Ahmed has put together a shopping list, and he's convinced his parents that everything on it is absolutely essential.

From a new Liverpool kit to an electric scooter, he's got some pretty expensive plans for the weekend.

There's just one problem.

His wishlist adds up to $755. Before tax!

And Ahmed doesn't have $755.

His solution? Papa can just use his credit card!

But when Mama helps Ahmed figure out how much everything actually costs, he realizes he might need to earn some money of his own.

With the help of his uncle, Ahmed lands his first job cleaning cars, hires his little brother as an assistant, and starts a business that becomes surprisingly busy!

But after weeks of hard work, something unexpected happens.

Ahmed finally has enough money to buy what he wants, but now he's not so sure he wants to spend it.

In our first adventure for Financial Literacy Month, Ahmed learns about earning money, understanding its value, and making thoughtful decisions about spending, saving, and giving.

It's a fun introduction to financial literacy for Muslim kids ages 7–12, with a little help from an Excel spreadsheet, a very demanding little brother, and some extremely sticky cup holders!
