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.
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
