Calling all high school students that are interested in TikToking their way through budgeting for their future! Budgeting shouldn’t be ignored! Apart of the financial literacy is being discipline and making smart decisions with money. With today’s accessibility to apps such as Cash App and PayPal, overspending isn’t hard to do as you are unable to see what is leaving your bank account. During this workshop, students will receive a presentation on budgeting, activities, group discussions, snacks, and of course a few TikTok challenges along the way!
