JistheRealDeal | Do you think high school should have a mandatory basic finance and investing course? |
It seems that young people would be better off if they learned the importance of saving and investing for their future rather than rather than blowing all their money on the here and now. A child is very lucky if they have financial guidance from family, but this is most often not the case. |

Yes, you hit the nail in the head, If you do not learn at early age. your chance of getting it is slim, with a lot of trouble later on in life that sidetrack a lot people.
I am lucky enough to learn at early age and one more thing, I used to live under communist rule, so we have to learn to save for ourselvesIt is not that hard to learn. I could do it, anyone can do it too.

That is just one of the courses they should have. When I was in High School I took General Business. It was considered a course for non-college bound students, but it was an excellent course. I was the only college bound student in there. Another course that would be very beneficial would be Interpersonal Relations i e how to get along with people. |

Short answer - yes.
In truth, it really doesn't matter. Unless a family has SUCCESSFULLY taught a child how to manage money, the child will either fail financially or learn the hard way. |

Yes, definitely.
It's amazing how little education is given on something so important for life. |

I don't know so much about mandatory but there should be a personal finance elective going back to Junior High, even before high school. What makes it so apparant of a need is seeing all of the questions here from teens wanting to know what kind of jobs they can get. Imagine if there were a class that could help these kids start to plan early for making money, saving money, spending money, etc? Such a class should teach students what its like to be an adult by making them "work" for a day and then go about running a household and understanding taxes, saving, negotiating pricing on items, buying a house, etc.... sorta like the game Monopoly, only more real. If a teacher only reaches one student out of 30 and that kid turns out to be a millionaire by 40, the class will be worthwhile. |

No, I feel confident in saying that J. Paul Getty or, a more modern example, Bill Gates, didn't study finance or investment while in high school. Studying from books limits you to what is written in those books. Think of all the books on how to make a million are on the book stands whether it be in real estate, stocks & bonds or whatever. Now compare the number of people who bought and read those books with the number of people who actually became millionaires through reading them. |
