Social media has become such a pervasive part of our lives, we’re often not even aware of the ways it pushes us to spend more money.

Two Cents was created by Katie Graham, Andrew Matthews, Philip Olson CFP® and Julia Lorenz-Olson and is brought to you by PBS Digital Studios. We love dropping some knowledge on all things personal finance and helping you make better money decisions.
