76% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck

Parents should be teaching children basic money management skills. Why should schools waste time and resources doing the job parents should be doing?

So teaching students something they'll actually use in their day to day lives is a waste of time?

And this is the problem. The people at the top don't wanna give back to the system. It's just take take take.

And then they got politicians in their pocket who in turn spin that shyt around and point the blame at poor people.

Rich people are destroying the middle class, not poor people.

Soon it's gonna be like in those old fairy tales where a princess would be riding in her chariot amongst a sea of peasants. No middle class, just the wealthy and the poor.

In other words like the slums of brazil where the sharp contrast between the destitute and rich is glaring

If you don't want to learn personal finance the easy way by reading then you're going to learn it the hard way through life.

Comedy on every page in here.

because again, it is not the job of a school to teach you how to budget

it is the job of your family. the. end.

Why ISN'T it the job of the school to teach kids that though?

Why is important to learn about sedimentary rocks but not budgeting your money?
