‘Outstanding teen’ advises prudent fi nancial strategy
By KATHERINE LACAZE
For Seaside Signal
The secret to her success?
Good business sense.
The week before the pag-
eant, Seaside High School
junior Sydney Rapp shared
her platform for the Miss
Clatsop County Outstanding
Teen Pageant with her collo-
quium class at Seaside High
School, giving her peers an
opportunity to learn more
about saving money, build-
ing credit, and making pru-
dent fi nancial decisions.
Through
her
fi nan-
cial literacy for kids plat-
form, Rapp looks forward to
“engaging in classrooms by
introducing helpful books
and fun money activities
kids can then take home.”
“I’m enthusiastic about
Katherine Lacaze
Seaside High School junior Sydney Rapp (left), a contestant
in the Miss Clatsop County Outstanding Teen Pageant,
invited Mallory Litehiser, vice president of operations at
Clatsop Community Bank, to address Rapp’s colloquium class
about fi nancial issues during a presentation of her pageant
platform, “Financial Literacy For Kids.”
being a voice for fi nancial
literacy that encourages
younger kids, as well as
my peers,” said Rapp, who
is part of the high school’s
Future Business Leaders of
America chapter.
Rapp invited Mallory
Litehiser, vice president of
operations at Clatsop Com-
munity Bank, to address one
of Rapp’s classes. The stu-
dent conducted an interview
with Litehiser, asking her to
share about her career and
give fi nancial advice perti-
nent to teenagers.
Litehiser started working
a Wauna Credit Union part
time shortly after graduating
Seaside High School. She
then worked at U.S. Bank
for seven years before tak-
ing her current job at Clat-
sop Community Bank.
Rapp asked Litehiser if
she did not work at a bank
if she would be as respon-
sible with her money as she
is. Litehiser responded she
and her husband were raised
differently, but have simi-
lar perspectives on money
management.
“His parents didn’t have a
lot, and they defi nitely acted
that way,” she said. “My
parents didn’t have a lot,
but they acted like they did.
We kind of see two different
ends of the spectrum.”
The couple contribute
money to their various sav-
ings accounts monthly with
the intention of being able to
support the family for about
a year if one of them were to
lose their job or experience
another unexpected emer-
gency. Litehiser referred
to the current government
shutdown and how her hus-
band, who serves in the U.S.
Coast Guard, was not being
paid despite continuing to
work. Rapp could relate, as
her father also works for the
Coast Guard.
Litehiser encouraged the
students to realize they are
responsible for creating a
fi nancial safety net. Some
people are fortunate to have
parents that save for them,
she said, adding she is doing
so for her children but will
not let them know that.
“I want them to know
their future is in their hands,”
she said. “They need to be
responsible for their spend-
ing or their extra expenses.”
Many bad spending hab-
its, among teenagers and
adults, can be tied back to
instant gratifi cation, Lithiser
said.
“It’s really easy to use
that card and purchase what-
ever you want and have it
there the next day,” she said,
adding it is important “to
really look at your income
or whatever you have saved
and work toward that item
you want to buy.”
