Have you ever completed a jig saw puzzle? Would you know what the final picture would be like if you did NOT look at the box cover? Probably not. Your knowledge is very similar to you very own jig saw puzzle. It can be very simple or as complex as you want it to be. Think of each concept of knowledge being a piece of your puzzle. Each piece interlocks with those piece learned before. For example, you must learn addition before learning multiplication.
Each item you learn is also likened to a tool in your tool chest. If you learn little, your tool chest willl be small and of poor use. However, if you learn much, your tool chest will be large and full. With that tool box (your head) full of tools (knowledge and understanding), you will be able to tackle most anything life throws at you. Besides, none of us has a crystal ball into the future.
It is up to you to determine just how big your 'puzzle' becomes.
Finally, there are generally two ways to make money leagally, with your head and with your hands. "Head" people use knowledge and understanding to make money. "Hands" people use physical strength and dexterity to make money. For the most part, Head people make significantly more money than Hands people. - Keep trying. Get help on understanding that specific concept. It will build onto the next concept.

I got some cash from the bank this morning, and subtracted the amount from my account. I also subtracted the amounts of the things I bought today on my check card from my account, as well.
My lunch was $7.20 and I found 20% of it to be $1.44; I left my waiter a $1.50 tip because he took good care of me.
I estimated the chicken I roasted for our supper tonight was going to take an hour and 15 minutes. I added 1:15 to the time I started to know when supper was going to be ready. By subtracting the times necessary to cook the rest of our dinner items, I knew when to start the rice and vegies on the stove and when to put the rolls into the oven.

Hi. I made a good living by understanding trig just a bit more than the other guy. Also it helps if you buy something and want to know if you got the right change. Interested in sports? All the stats are math based.

I'm a maths PhD student, so it's clear that I use it every day. But, of course, everybody uses maths every day, whether they realise it or not. Some examples:
What is the shortest (or fastest) way to get to any location?
What is an efficient packing method so that I can fit my luggage in my car?
How do I shuffle a deck of cards to ensure they're close to random?

I'm an electrical engineer... I use math every day. Of course if you're happy flipping burgers or collecting garbage you can get by with almost no math at all.

Well, you use math:
When you have to pay for something, and you check your change, when you measure the distance between your house and school and when you are couting the years of your grandma..
