[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.
[00:01:47.326](audience applauds)
[00:01:49.770]It's nice to be rewarded for the hard work you've put in
[00:01:52.560]and it makes it a little easier to study
[00:01:54.040]when you know, oh, I'm studying for a little bit of money.

[00:02:19.129]Hi, I'm State Treasurer John Murante.
[00:02:21.470]Understanding personal finance is critically important.
[00:02:24.840]People who learn and practice basic financial skills
[00:02:27.600]live happier, wealthier lives with less stress.
[00:02:30.820]I encourage you to learn more
[00:02:32.590]about financial literacy and to participate
[00:02:34.840]in the National Personal Finance Challenge.
[00:02:37.760]If you participate, you might win a part
[00:02:39.870]of $14,000 in cash prizes,
[00:02:42.730]thanks to our friends at Voya Financial.
[00:02:45.080]I look forward to meeting all the state champion teams
[00:02:47.810]here in Lincoln this spring.
[00:02:49.560]Good luck.
