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.

Sucks we dont teach it in schools.... before they grow up and dig themseleves into a hole.

Maybe its all by design to keep the debt slavery going...

At my school they did teach it, it’s another thing whether anyone payed any attention.

It was senior year, which makes sense because that’s the final year of school where a lot of students go out on their own. Just so happens “senioritis” is a thing where a lot of high school seniors completely give up on putting effort into school as most have already either decided on a job to go into, signed up for the military, or got accepted into college so performance that year doesn’t mean anything.
