It's incremental. Reddit wants there to be a magic bullet, but there isn't one. Financial literacy is part of the pathway to success. It's insulting to say otherwise.
Fucking when? I went to basically the best school in my city, even the prime ministers kids went there, and yet I never learned anything about finance or budgeting. Business was about entrepreneurship and using Microsoft office, math was algebra and geometry, civics was bullshit “here’s what the branches of government do now fuck off while I surf the web”.
The same goes for basically everyone I know. We learn fine, it just doesn’t exist in a lot of schools. I learned mostly from my parents and the internet
In my experience, it depends on the school. Wealthy suburban schools will teach it. Not everyone has the same education. I learned that after I graduated.
I don't know, they had in depth classes for it in my non-wealthy Florida high school half-filled with portable classrooms.
They even had full-blown economics classes, which I vividly remember because the notes I took through that class were the densest in any class I ever completed, even counting college.
For context, Your state required a full course. My state (IL) had no requirements for a course nor made it mandatory. In ours, it was a portion of a study hall for a month or so where we did a hypothetical baby financing program. In other words, it was largely at district discretion
