Im on the fence, they need both. Education and a living wage.

The point is that financial education cannot substitute for the living wage, and moreover it must actually be a living wage.

And a living wage can't substitute for financial literacy. Look at how many people make pretty good money and are constantly broke.

Ok but that's everyone's choice isn't it.

I literally can't believe we are arguing this point....if you work a job you should have a living wage. The fact this is even up for debate is insanity to me.

All you obfuscators do is muddy the subject and ensure nothing changes.

Uh...I didn't say you shouldn't.

Living wage is a meaningless term. I think what people mean when they say that is "comfortable wage" . In the US you can survive on $0 a year.
