The term “finfluencer” has been given to financial influencers who use social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to share personal financial information as well as tips and tricks.
Although you may think it’s adult finfluencers that have the information to share, you would be incorrect. Teenagers are now seen to be investing more time into financial ventures and are using social media to help others. By sharing the basics of how money works and what they can do with it, finfluencers are the new go-to source for financial “dummies.”
