01 / THE QUESTION
Picture the future.
Put it into words.
“Imagine money in the year 2040. How do you think young people will earn, save, spend and use money, and what role will technology play?”
Start with everyday life. Think about the people, choices and technologies that could shape it. You don’t need to predict everything—you need to explore your ideas clearly.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
A good essay starts
with a good question.
Writing prompts to get you thinking.
These are ideas, not extra entry rules.
Follow the money.
How could a young person earn it, keep it and use it?
Explore the technology.
What could change? What might become easier—or more complicated?
Make your case.
Use examples. Explain your thinking. Let your own perspective come through.
