Dr. Tammira Lucas, Assistant Professor of Business at Coppin State and serial entrepreneur, shares insights on money management for young people with the AFRO.
“Typically when kids get money, they say, ‘Hey, can you take me to the store?’ They don’t understand the long term value of money and how appreciating money can change their trajectory and future as adults,” said Lucas. “Especially for high schoolers in Baltimore who may come from underserved areas, it’s important that they understand that money can set them up for success.”
Dr. Lucas provided a year-by-year plan for teens to budget and save their money.
