The Importance of Personal Finance Education

Personal finance education is largely absent from the US education system, despite its significance in building wealth and financial literacy. Many individuals, including those with degrees in business, report having received no instruction on crucial topics such as investing, savings, and managing money. This educational gap can be partly attributed to a lack of teachers who themselves are knowledgeable in personal finance, making it difficult to incorporate such classes into the curriculum. The recent move by states like Florida, which now requires personal finance classes for high school graduation, suggests a positive shift towards addressing this deficiency.
