RE: The Dirty Four Letter Word No One Likes to Talk About: DEBT

"Personal Finance is not taught in a classroom, not in grade school, not in high school and not in college as a core requirement." It is the same here in Sweden, strange isn't it? You get taught a lot of things you MIGHT have use for, depending on what you choose to study later on / start to work with, but personal finance that we all WILL have use for is not taught.

Yes it a real shame. I am thinking before my daughter goes to college ( a long ways off) I should sit down and have her take a finance class. Probably before her first car as a bribe : )

Not a terrible idea. They should be teaching basic finance skills regardless.
