2. Why did you choose to do your work experience here at MRM?

Lema – I am into business and I wanted to experience the financial services route to have a clear understanding of what it is.

5) Do you think it’s important for young people to learn about the importance of money and if so, why?

Lema – Yes! It is very important to learn to save your money, as it will help you in the future – such as a personal matter or if you are aiming for something (house). It’s important to learn not to spend all your money at once as it will benefit you in the future.

Remi – I think it is very important for young people to learn about the importance of money as it helps them manage their finances and get a better start in the future.

6) What do you think financial services PR is?

Lema – I think FS PR is to send a specific message to your target audience.
