Summary

A surprising number of adults in the U.S. Only half of the states in America require high school students to take a personal finance class before graduating. Only 25% of American teens have confidence in their personal finance knowledge.

Think of your money in the long term. Maybe you want to retire early or start your own business. Good financial habits can help make this possible.

Especially with only 25% coming out confident they can take care of their finances. What's the percentage of kids that move away or have no help from family?

Absolutely much higher than that. It's crazy we don't prioritize this kind of education.
