Also the people who used to post those articles on Facebook back in the day "they didn't cover this in school" were ALWAYS the ones you knew didn't pay attention in school, to any damn thing ever taught them.

You forgot "and yet now they 'know' everything."

In my country we actually teach a lot about personal finance in math class. We even have divided math class in high school since we understand that math is very difficult for lots of people and almost trivial to others. So those who want a more practical approach to math and don't need to learn integrals ans second order polynomials and shit get lots and lots of practical problems on basic economics, personal and societal and converting between units and such.

Take one guess at whom it is that rant about how we need to teach basic personal finance in school?
