I am so grateful to hear voices like these that have a voice that is thought provoking and individual. So rare in today. Interesting that communication has become so prolific however the medium is so bland and uniform. Love hearing some free thinkers.

It's infuriating that grade schools don't have personal finance courses as a requirement before graduation-and no, 'home economics' does not cut it at all. A VAST majority of crime and suffering in society revolve around money or people's financial illiteracy. Robbery, theft, homelessness, addiction, domestic violence-literally almost everything is influenced by money or lack of it. But public schools do not prepare children to be financially literate at. all. Roth vs traditional IRA, investment strategies, good vs bad debt, the importance of keeping a good credit score, how bad credit influences loans and interest rates, etc. Its such basic knowledge that I had to go out and learn/research on my own online after I graduated college. If money is the root of most of our problems, why aren't these things drilled into the brains of young people before they leave high school? How much human suffering could be avoided by just doing this?

It really is. I picked up you're money or your life and I'm not gonna lie. It's firstly amazing. Because it's so simple to understand. And then it makes you furious. Because ot's so simple a high schooler can understand it so why isn't it a book you're required to read in high school? They wouldn't even need to actually implement the steps in the book. Just have it in the brain because it teach what is money and ways for you to change you're relation ship with it so you can make a living and not a dying.

I grew up in the era of Home Ec. It taught me nothing about money. Nor did my parents. You did not talk about money in those days or anything else, for that matter. So, I learned about finances by experience and life lessons.

Ready for a mic drop moment? The teachers don’t know personal finance either.

I had a checking account at 6 or 7. I remember it was hard to sign my name the same way each time I signed a check.

Keep it up!

One thing I would tell my younger self would be to start investing early and often, and understand general finance.

I was glad to have taken a personal finance course in high school but I think it should be a requirement and not an elective. Even if you major in business, most people don't understand finance and economics, they only know how to get a job in those fields. I stil remember my accounting manager that took all his money out of his 401K after the great recession. Robert Kiyosaki's books started my journey towards financial freedom.
