Samantha was one of the high school students that gravitated toward saving before spending even with pretend money. We’re not sure if this is true for her, but the current pandemic has shown most people the importance of saving. Either way, we were thrilled to see one of the teens practice ways to save money before deciding to spend it. Most teens are not like Samantha. Instead of saving, they focus on buying and overspend. If these habits are used in the real world, they’ll be in serious trouble. This is why your help is critical to their success. See how your donation can help teens like Samantha learn smart money habits. https://www.center4fe.org/donate
