(DESCRIPTION)
An animated pencil traces around a window with a checklist and a bar graph that reads, Budget Breakdown.

SPEAKER: Making great money choices requires two things, planning and thinking. No, for real. That's it. Plan for the stuff you want in both the short and long term.

(DESCRIPTION)
Two windows of lists, labelled Short-Term and Long-Term respectively, sit one above theother.

Splurging on a $17 strawberry smoothie with extra whipped cream on top instead of the much more modest, but still delicious, $5 boba tea may not seem like a big deal.

Scoops fill drinks with animated faces.

(SPEECH)
But even small purchases add up over time.

(DESCRIPTION)
A balance of $133 is reduced by debits of $75 for shoes, $10 for a cheeseburger, $2 for candy, $6 for tacos, and $15 for movie tickets, leaving $23.

You don't want to spend money on something you think you want now only to regret it five days later, when you can't afford what you really want.

(DESCRIPTION)
T-shirts swing from racks in a store.

So spend smarter.

(DESCRIPTION)
A pink cartoon brain grins.

(SPEECH)
Large or small, plan and think about your purchases.

(DESCRIPTION)
The brain and the pencil both smile in front of a checklist.
