I have no memory of being taught anything about money management in school. Nothing about what happens when you save at an early age, or invest, and use the compounding interest to get rich. If your parents didn’t know, or didn’t tell you, you could easily believe the lottery was the way to get rich. Money was to spend and pay bills. Nearly everyone thought of credit as extra money, not a high interest loan. We all lived beyond our means. During my first job interview, I realized I didn’t even know what an average adult makes as a salary.We need to do better than this.
