(Even Though It Should Be Everyone’s Birthright)
The Problem: We Learn Trigonometry but Not Taxes
We spend over a decade in school solving equations and memorizing facts—but walk out clueless about:
- Filing taxes
- Creating a personal budget
- Building credit
- Planning for retirement or starting a business
👉 That’s a system failure—because finance is a life skill, not just a career choice.
Why Finance Education Is Essential
Finance affects every single one of us, no matter your job, background, or dreams.
Here's why it's crucial:
- Better Decision-Making – Know when to save, spend, or invest.
- Reduces Financial Stress – Plan ahead, avoid debt traps, sleep better.
- Financial Independence – Stop surviving paycheck-to-paycheck. Start building wealth.
- Career & Business Growth – Finance drives strategy in every job and business.
Why Don’t Schools Teach It?
- Despite its importance, finance is missing from classrooms. Why?
- Outdated Curriculums – Designed for an old economy, not today’s world.
- Lack of Trained Educators – Many aren’t equipped to teach personal or business finance.
- It Doesn’t Serve “The System” – Informed people make stronger, independent choices.
- Not on Standardized Tests – So it gets ignored.
Finance Is a Birthright, Not a Luxury
Money shapes every major life decision—from your first job to your last investment. Everyone deserves to understand it.
Imagine if every teen knew how to:
- Budget
- Save
- Invest
- File taxes
- Understand debt and interest
- Read a payslip
- Navigate a mortgage
- Plan for a future
Wouldn’t that be revolutionary?
The Way Forward
Since traditional education won’t give us what we need, we take the lead ourselves:
- Talk about money at home
- Take modern, practical courses
- Use social media and community spaces for learning
- Encourage schools to evolve
