I think it'd be interesting to see what would happen if some states had personal finance classes in their curriculum and some didn't, see if there is a measurable impact down the line.
Personal finance classes probably would have a non-negligble impact on the people that just mindless spend and don't save for retirement etc.
But I would think also that the wildly inflated housing and child care costs and the inelastic demand between the two means just an unexpected health emergency or unanticipated home maintenance spending would leave a family in debt and living paycheck to paycheck until its paid off.
If you're making $100K you probably have a college degree and therefore student loans to pay as well.
Well, my own observation shows me that most people don't know the first thing about basic finances: compounding interest, budgeting, critical thinking when seeing advertisements, and the cost of take-out vs making dinner are some examples.
For gods sakes, check your credit card and bank balances once in a while!. smh.
That's textbook greed.
I've been living comfortably off of $200,000 for years.
