Subject: RE: Financial literacy ?????


"How do most of us learn how to use our money wisely and well? When we’re growing up, we’re given special instruction in important subjects — swimming, driving, sex — to arm us with info and keep us from harm."

 

First thought that crossed my mind as I read that paragraph..... Whose responsibility is it to teach us that?  Oh, yeah, the author pretty much answers it in the next paragraph.  The author seems to suggest it is the school's responsibility.  Learning at home doesn't really count.

It seems to me that people learn their money management skills by watching their parents - good or bad. 

When I was in high school - many decades ago - our school implement a course to help equip students for being adults.  Part of that course included money management. My recollection is that we were required to take it in 10th, and it was mandatory.   I don't know if it is still done in that school district or not.
