Are you a Young Money Maker? If you have a thriving business, side hustle, or lucrative talent, then we want to hear from you. I will be selecting an individual or business to feature on the Young & Free Michigan website and social pages on a regular basis. If you, or someone you know, has started their entrepreneurial journey and would like to share their story then contact me today.

In this It's a Money Thing video, Jen is schooled by her rapping Grandma on what’s involved in saving for retirement.

Fall is in full effect…well kind of! Michigan’s weather has been a bit tricky lately but it’s definitely not stopping me from enjoying the full fall experience. September completely flew by; I traveled all over visiting Davenport, Grand Valley State University, Wayne State, Macomb Community College, Lawrence Tech, and more. Every school put up a great fight in our Bucks for Books battle and I am so excited for all of our winners. I’m positive that this October is going to be just as amazing! I’ll be visiting some local high schools: bringing freebies and fun to their homecoming games, teaching my Young & Free peeps about finances, and doing some great giveaways and contests. I hope you guys make October a great one too and stay tuned for all the fall fun we are bringing your way!

Stay Young & Be Free,
