I'm Morris and this is:
Instant Talent Game!
[cheers and applause] [music]
So check it out.
We're here on campus to find out not only who is
the most talented.
But who's the most talented when it comes
to money smarts.
Let's see what they got.
Sounds good.
My name is Sage and I'm a freshman!
[cheers] Yay!
Give it up for the freshman.
Sage!
I am a freshman.
But, I can teach you a lesson.
When it comes to cash I can answer your questions.
I save so much that I could fill up a trash can.
I would suggest not putting his money in the trash can
Right. Yeah. There's no interest rate on that.
I balance my checkbook and I roll hard.
Summertime breeze.
I do this with ease.
I balance my checkbook while
I kick it in The Keys.
Well you know you don't have to be in The Keys
to balance your checkbook.
Oh, it's the time to be saving.
No room for mistakes.
My bills are piling up now, student loans
are in my face.
Money saving's what I said.
Living in the tech age, now on the same page, mama.
Laying by the pool.
I purchase my books from school.
Bring on the next contestant.
Yaoooohhh!!
When it comes to money I'm super lame!
I just don't got no game.
You probably should watch Morris on Campus and
get your money smarts on.
I agree.
Because it seems like you need to go in that direction.
How can I be sure?
Financially secure.
Ah ah ah aaah!
Ah ah ah aaaaaah!
I balance my checkbook everyday!
Wooooh!
Woooooh! Alright!
I had money in the bank since I was 15.
It started so small. It grew in large amounts.
When you start young. It just
keeps growing and growing and growing. It doesn't stop.
Everyone come down to the ho down and
join me in my saving.
Yee Haw!!
Come on and teach me how to save.
[rhythmic clapping] I want you to teach me
how to save!
How to saaaaaavvvve!
Wow that was...
Yeah.
You guys like that?
That was great.
I like that too.
She made saving sound beautiful.
[Music]
It's going to be a tough decision.
I mean we saw a lot of great students and they
all had money on their minds and on the
tip of their tongues.
So much talent.
And the winner is.
[drum roll sounds]
Because we love savings more!
Laura!
