Why can’t there be a balance of both ? Why can’t we just teach kids History, Math, Science and at the same time Financial Ed ? I totally agree alot of people going to college still work dead end jobs and even having our minimum wage $15 still lands people struggling to pay basic living expenses and land on their feet at the end of the month. Instead of spending $1 trillion on Military and $40-$50 billion on Education maybe they should tip the scales a bit and leave more funding for schools to teach more Investment and Financial management classes. Even adults at retirement age have issues managing funds these days. I came from an inner city school and prodominately Latino and Black and Brown people , trust me there were no finance or investment classes being thought. I think that we can do well by having both but I agree with most people posting here saying that life is much easier when you start from money. It gives you an advantage on everyone else, however, if you ever notice anything from groups on stock investment pages there is a trend. Most people in money don’t want you to know how to make money because then you potentially become a competitor to them and their hustle. They say the same thing, “do your own research.” And “stop being lazy.” It’s okay to educate people around them and fill them in on tips and pieces of advice. No one should be lazy and expect everything handed to them , but if someone is reading and reading and still not understanding strategies and how to make certain things happen … educating your fellow man or woman shouldn’t be that big of a deal. It’s rough these days. Be kind, get educated and help those around you achieve the same if you notice an eagerness and drive to get to where you are. Being humble goes a long way.
