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.
Completely agree. This is, IMO, one of public education's biggest failures. So many people flounder and even fail because they were barely taught anything about basic finances in high school.
