7 Financial Skills I Wished I Would Have Learned in High School

Imagine if what you know now, you knew way back in high school.

🤔 How much better off would you be?

When I was in high school, I didn’t learn anything about money, budgeting, or investing.

Here’s a look at some of the essentials I wish I would have learned in high school and I think should be taught today:

#1: How Credit Cards and Interest Rates Work
#2: How to Balance a Checkbook
#3: Budgeting Basics
#4: The Power of Compound Interest #mindblown
#5: How to Build Credit (or not ruin it)
#6: Investing and Stock Market Basics
#7: How to Start a Biz-nass

As a financial planner, I meet with so many full-fledged adults who don’t know the first thing about the stock market or investing in general.

I BELIEVE THE EARLIER WE TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT FINANCIAL BASICS, THE BETTER OFF THEY’LL BE. 🤔

The Bottom Line

Personal finance is such an important part of life that I can’t believe we don’t teach students more about money in school.

When you really think about it, it’s no wonder household debt levels are at all-time highs.
