Why financial literacy education in the US sucks
"It’s a common refrain: school is full of useless (if interesting!) lessons… but we learn next to nothing about how to manage our finances.

But it’s not necessarily true that we never learned anything: many of us sat through a few classes on money management. It just may not have been enough to stick. "In this video, we’ll take a brief look at the state of financial education in the US: past, present, and future."
