It's also quite sad that financial literacy isn't being taught in schools, not even electively. And it could be easily taught in playful ways that anybody could pick up on too.
Agreed. But along with basic financial literacy coursework, the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" should be required reading.
Sometimes I seriously wonder if people have some unconscious desire to be poor and mediocre. I just cannot fathom how somebody could wish to be more than they are without trying to work towards that goal with even the tiniest increments.
People think their careers will save them, that they will never end and their wages will always be increasing to take care of their current and future debts.
Until their career doesn't.
