I agree and I think it would be far more valuable than some of the things they are teaching. I graduated many, many moons ago and they didn't teach it then either so it's not like it's changed.Society today is rife with people who can't properly manage money. It still boggles my mind they don't teach this in school.
Same. My parents did.I agree and I think it would be far more valuable than some of the things they are teaching. I graduated many, many moons ago and they didn't teach it then either so it's not like it's changed.
Yeah, it was taught at home. But I do remember when first being out on my own realizing I had no idea how to balance a checkbook. I did some how manage to do so though. But I had a girlfriend at the time that told me she actually closed her bank account from time to time so she'd know how much money she had. Evidently only the people at the bank were smart enough to figure it out... Pretty amazing.Same. My parents did.
Hey, Ma, can we have....
"Do you have any $$?"
Nope.
"Did you rake the neighbor's yard like they asked?"
Nope.
"Well, you must not want it then."
+1 for Mom.

My high school offered two economics electives, one dealt with supply/demand and most of the stuff covered in a college micro-economics class. The other was a "how to balance your checkbook, how do savings acounts and loans work?" type class. When a bunch of senior honors students signed up for the checkbook class the teacher and the guidance counselor though we were slumming. A couple of us pointed out that we would be living on our own in a few months and that we needed to learn this stuff.I agree and I think it would be far more valuable than some of the things they are teaching.

That was almost 10 years ago, where did the time go?

Well, this is good news for me then! I know that I can be a broke bum in NYC and still "bang dozens of chicks" like OP has!
Imagine how many more you could bang if you had tens of dollars in your pockets!
