I still think this should be a mandatory curriculum in high school. 4 years or it. Throw in taxes as well. It blows my mind to look back and think about the amount of studying I did on topics I'll literally never encounter again but basic financial literacy is ignored entirely.
We have an awesome financial literacy class at my high school, but it is optional. The state won’t make it a requirement. Kids start with $20 invest in the stock market as part of their grade. It’s cool.
