The lack of financial education in traditional schooling systems is a significant barrier that prevents many individuals, particularly women, from understanding money management and investing. Schools often focus on preparing students to be good employees rather than teaching them about money, which is a critical life skill.

This gap in education reinforces misconceptions and leaves many unprepared to make sound financial decisions in adulthood.
