I have graduated from University and now part of the workforce. Now, I am seeing that salaries really cannot fully cover one's needs especially if one has a family to take care of. This got me thinking, should Financial Literacy be taught in High School?
Think about it. A lot of young people easily spend their hard earned money on things they do not need. The latest gadgets and so on. Then they will find themselves scrambling for money. We need to really teach people what money really is. From the basics of inflation, to the investment vehicles. I myself am learning all of this now. It was a waste. I could have invested a long time ago. It would be a good idea to give young people the chance to earn money earlier in their lives.
