Thanks for your comment Susan. I believe it's a generational thing. I'm over 50 and my parents taught me about money. However, people my age aren't teaching it to their kids. Not sure what happened along the way. I agree that educating kids before they graduate is a good idea. Unfortunately, most public (government run) schools won't allow kids to learn about money. I've been teaching finance to middle school kids for several years now (on Saturday's) and they really enjoy the information that their parents never mentioned.
