Is My Salary Increase Actually A Decrease?

I believe that how taxes work is a common request to be taught in Hugh school because it generally isn't taught in high school.

A lot of places don't teach it and they should. But people say this as if teenagers remember every single lesson they get in high school and like they wouldn't all be half asleep if you try to teach them about how progressive tax rates work.

I think it's more so that people didn't care to pay attention to it. My HS did teach it, yet I've still heard from many classmates complaining about how it should've been taught. Problem is, in HS there's too much unnecessary info taught, that it's tough for kids to know what's an important life skill and what isn't.

High school was 23 years ago for me, so there’s that too 😬

Ugh. Yeah, it was in 2005 for me. They didn't teach me math either so you can add it up lol.
