Peningkatan Literasi Finansial Remaja: Edukasi Mengenai Pengenalan serta Cara Pengelolaan Keuangan yang Bijak Kepada Siswa SMA

Abstract

Understanding of money management is crucial for adolescence, especially in this generation. With the recent surge in technology, trends and marketing techniques also shift. This became a new threat towards the younger generations, as now they are faced with the temptation of sales bundles, promotions, and money lending. This led to a crisis in their money savings and management. This activity was conducted due to the ever-increasing lack of awareness of money management in younger generations. By spreading awareness of money management to adolescence, proper financial management and safety is more guaranteed for them. This activity used four stages in conducting the events: material presentation, question and answer session, discussion session, as well as a game and bonding session. Materials brought in this activity are but not limited to the importance of money, money management techniques, difference between wants and needs, as well as how to control spendings. This activity is shown as a success as students are shown to have a better understanding of proper money management by the end of the activity
