Twice a year, Piper Sandler releases its Semi-Annual Taking Stock With Teens report, a reliably great look into how young people are spending and what they’re buying. Their 47th annual survey of 6,000 teens was released earlier this week, and I jotted down a bunch of highlights — some of which I discussed on CNBC this past Friday, if you want to watch me nervously chat in my new apartment with a mostly empty bookcase behind me and piles of boxes just out of view.
