Growing number of states to require financial literacy course in high school

[@anisafaruqi9330]

This ties in with being able to read and write 😊

This is excellent! How many people buy things on credit cards, not thinking about needing to pay it at the end of the month and carrying their balance over to the next month and only paying the minimum payment? This should be a required class which will teach students these things in class so they won't have to learn them thru the "school of hard knocks".

[@medusagorgon9]

This should be taught at every grade level. Some kids are working as young as middle school.

[@boldfaith777]

They used to teach this back in the 1980’s. All things money, we had EF Hutton advisors speak to the classes, writing checks, balancing accounts and how inflation impacts everyone.

[@theafricantriforce8878]

This is a very important skill, that unfortunately most parents/guardians do not teach their kids.

In sixth grade my son learned about the stock market in school, in addition to other financial nuggets. He's now 46 and someone I consider financially successful and with a secure future. Need I say more. As an aside, he did not go through the public school system. We paid our taxes to support a school system we never used (or had faith in). Our choice, of course, and we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I wish I had that knowledge when I took up a loan at a fine 19%, me to me, "lmao, it's just a number" - me to me poor af years later, "no it wasn't"

[@lauriepolden6594]

They should’ve taught that course years ago and I’m sure they did when I was in high school because I remember having to balance a checkbook but that was back in the 70s so clearly it wasn’t important after that

[@LexiTheSaneLeftysCrustyWorld]

But if people get a financial education in high school they won't be as vulnerable to all the predatory loansharks that destroy their life with student loans in college, and they will know how to pay bills and balance a budget. 😮

It Must Be A National Requirement if we want to save our nation - I’m just sayin’😏

[@curiouspenguin6887]

Ironically, here we see someone using their financial literacy to sell overpriced sneakers to people who insist on making poor financial decisions. 😂

[@chrissharkey9644]

I would think that the more knowledge about money the more we all would make in the chain

[@AmericanObserver-kq7ye]

That’s a GREAT decision. Otherwise, they won’t know how to manage their money.

[@danschoenharl3856]

Bravo, it's about time instruction in financial literacy is valued en masse. It reminds me, though, of how the tin can was invented before the can opener. Somehow expectations of financial responsibility came before any serious thought on financial literacy curriculum. But, better late than never.

[@Knowledge-411-x4q]

they better listen to this lesson for sure

[@stevecatanio8532]

This is like college level stuff.

[@TheGiftedRN]

Is it used often for the minority for the benefit? Or promote the wealthy?

[@stevecatanio8532]

@TheGiftedRN any improvement is good for everyone

[@stephaniebazuaye1792]

That's good

[@stevecatanio8532]

Good

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

I wonder what those 10 states are

[@seal4ever778]

This is a very good idea

[@smith7388]

This is a great ideas.

[@GDuncan8002]

Decades overdue.

[@chaikagaz]

Kids these days only know how to spend their mommies credit card

[@DArcyGavina]

Thanks for the forecast! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@EddieMWilken]

Forever grateful this holiday season! 🎄 Mrs. Agnes Peterson completely turned my life around, helping me overcome massive financial debt with just a small investment. Her expertise is unmatched, and I’ll keep sharing her impact with the world.

[@Stephaniemartin-u3f]

How does this trading stuff work? am really interested but I just don't know how to go about it. I heard people really make it huge trading

[@EddieMWilken]

My journey with her started after my best friend got back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how my life could change through her. Agnes Peterson is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!.: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@Danieldavis343]

Isn't she the same Mrs Agnes Peterson that my neighbors are talking about, she has to be a perfect expect for people to talk about her so well.

[@First1ToComment]

First / why ? They all wanna be "influencers" anyway 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@gemmeldrakes2758]

Financial literacy will be even more important for anyone who wants to be an influencer. Influencers are essentially runnning a small business , with themselves as the product. There is a surprising amount of financial knowledge needed in order to become successful as an influencer.
