- [00:01:07.903]~ My students love to compete,
- [00:01:10.810]so they enjoy the whole process
- [00:01:12.667]of engaging the competition to get here.
- [00:01:16.140]They've also enjoyed getting to meet students
- [00:01:18.280]from other states and getting to network.
- [00:01:20.560]And I think they really enjoy coming
- [00:01:22.750]and showing off all that they've learned.
- [00:01:25.800]In the competition, like those two hours of planning,
- [00:01:28.090]there was a little bit of tension, little bit of stress,
- [00:01:30.130]but overall it's been really fun.
- [00:01:32.360]These kids, they have their finger on the pulse
- [00:01:35.110]and they know an incredible amount
- [00:01:37.400]of investing, and debt, and budgeting,
- [00:01:40.530]and it's been a joy to be around
- [00:01:41.870]listening to their ideas
- [00:01:43.220]and what people should do with their finances.
- [00:01:44.970]First place goes to
- [00:01:45.970]the great state of Michigan.
