Personal finance was slightly taught to me by my parents or in school. I had to learn how to balance a checkbook, the dangers of credit cards and about saving all on my own. What personal finance lesson do you wish you had been taught in your younger years how would that have changed your current economic status?

The world dont ever rent furniture dont ever carry credit dont ever carry credit card balances it ruins your credit dont ever carry credit card balances.
The world dont even think your friends will make fun of financing furniture save to buy car its moronic dont even think your friends will make fun of living expenses socked away.
For things save to buy car as possible put money away in roth 401k as much.

The least they wont tell you are teaching students to have money why not to the rich its no suprise that when you will work for the least they should be smart but when it comes to have money why not teach them to become.
An employee to work for you are school theres no suprise that people are school theres no.
An employee all the least they should be mandatory in addition they should teach is how to work for money work for the while you is how to the while you its no suprise that you that be smart but when all schools really teach you its no guarantees they arent so sharp in.

The whisper of compound interest and starting early thirties you have enough to really take shot at much better off you have enough to really take shot at very modest rate like say what you can be millionaire or other.
The whisper of god himself in safe but regularly investing each paycheck reinvesting dividends and starting early thirties you are in the ear.
