By the age of 18, you could already apply for a credit card, live out on your own and amass debt. If the adults in charge of education were truly interested in preparing children for the real world, then isn't it their responsibilty to arm the kids with knowledge as early as possible?
What I've noticed also is that Personal Finance 101 is not a mandated class in General Education Requirements in a 4-year university or community college.
We all handle money and eventually realize the influence it can have on our lives and on the lives of others. Why is then, if the importance of money is so obvious, that the educational system is built like this?
