EP 256 - Mohamed's Financial Awakening, Saving for Umrah and Community Help

In this episode, we talk about getting serious about Umrah with a big family, why his mother going removed the emotional barrier and got him to act, how Monzo categories, standing orders and statement analysis show where the money really goes, why lifestyle creep and status spending on cars quietly drain you, how secondhand buying and free local activities make frugality easier, how to teach kids money sense without a scarcity mindset, why strong Muslim community and keeping children connected to the masjid matter more than a privatised view of religion, and more! --------------------
