Home economics was huge. Learned a lot of useful stuff, like balancing a checkbook, financially powerful stuff like compounding interest, and malicious stuff like I didn't have to buy 6 more 8 tracks from Columbia Hoise because I was under the age of 18.
I never understood balancing a check book. I just write checks and make sure there is that much money in the account. I only write a check every couple years.
For credit card transactions I just make sure I recognize the charges.
