The countries never teaches us to save money in any way,we should take responsibility to save the money.From our bad times,we should understand the value of the money.After learning more about the savings,you can start to save a minimum amount of 10 dollars every month from your salary.When you adapt to saving increase the saving from 10 dollars to one percentage of your income.So you may increase the savings to 100 dollars,if your salary is like 10k dollars.So finally you will have huge money in your wallet at the emergency time.
Yes, I think saving money should be common for us and what the education only teaches us is what are its importance but not literally imposing us to save money because in the first place, it should be our responsibility. Also, I think financial education varies from what program you are taking. For instance, teaching financial education on medical students is not as extensive to entrepreneurial students. Simply, teaching financial education can be somehow selective and that it has certain degrees depends on the program you are taking. Just like what the OP said, I did not encounter any teachings about the importance of investments.
In my country, financial education is only taught in secondary level, so I think the best way to amend this is to have financial education as early as the foundation level of children and that is the primary level.
