Thank you so much Legacy Traditional Chandler for having us!

We really loved getting to interact with these amazing middle school students currently taking a finance elective class to learn more about financial literacy. Along with a fun personal finance activity, we also got the opportuntiy to introduce these kids to the diverse topics of financial literacy, from saving and investing to credit cards to tax brackets - and even stick charts. 💸

👥 By ending on a discussion note about the effects of Al and new technology on the changing field of personal finance, we hope to encourage more students and creating more discussion over financial literacy topics.💲
