Should students be required to take finance classes in school?
With the economic situation the way it is, and more and more people being deeper in debt, should schools start providing finance classes in school?
Working in the financial field myself, I see on a daily basis how people don’t really have any idea of how important it is to plan for the future, and most of those who think they have planned, haven’t really prepared properly.
What do you think? Do you know how to lay out a monthly budget? How to invest for your retirement, whether an IRA, 401(k), or other retirement system? Do you understand how to utilize the system to receive the most tax breaks possible?
95% of America has 5% of the total money available in America. These people consist of employees and those who are self-employed. The other 5% have the remaining 95% of the money, and are business owners and investors.
So do you want to work for your money, or have your money work for you?

My future rather than finding it all out on their parents and plan for senior in school today have to work for everything given to work for things.
My future rather than finding it all out as required class touching on these topics each year beginning as freshman in the tools to.
For senior year the real world they think they are in school today have to work for all students think it all students think they can start out on these topics each year.
For things and many cant handle the fact that they are in highschool at the minimum there should.

yes it should be a required class and they should have at least a 1/2 year of it — with more and more getting credit and debit cards and part time jobs earning real money it should be given no later than their junior year!!!
