Financial education is every bit as important as sexual education and the two should be taught as part of an education for adult life.

It is amazing how little some people, even those with advanced and professional degrees, know about the basics of money.

I don't see how the overall world economy would not improve if more people were educated on the basics of household finance.

Maybe we should begin teaching the snowball effect of saving -- in kindergarten and repeat each year.
