Every Friday during the school year, NGPF's FinCap Friday engages high school students through current events. Produced by Yanely Espinal, each one includes a 2 minute explainer video with a Kahoot quiz as well as a no-tech version. Since it's launch in August of 2018, FinCap Friday quizzes have been played more than 3 million times!

As the top 10 list below demonstrates, social media, inflation, teen jobs, used cars and crypto (think FTX fiasco) captured students' attention this year. Who knows what 2023 will bring but you can count on Yanely to make you smarter with timely information on the latest trends in personal finance.
