FinCap Friday: Rent Your Drobe

For the EdPuzzle version of this activity, click here.

In this FinCap Friday, we take a look at a trend that is increasing year after year in the world of fashion. Many are even going as far as calling it the "future of fashion!" From individual people renting their clothing to entire companies building businesses on the idea of re-useable fashion wear, renting your clothes rather than buying them is becoming more and more popular. Want to find out why? Play this week's FinCap Friday below:

If you're short on time, try our No-Tech version of FinCap Friday here, with questions embedded into the slide deck.

Check out all of our FinCap Fridays here. They are not date-dependent, so any of the episodes in our catalog can work throughout the year. 

About the Authors

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
