Should personal finance be taught in schools? We at the PoFU Podcast say YES! Florida recently mandated personal finance education in schools. The particulars (curriculum, subjects, etc) aren't exactly clear so we offered the subjects that we think most important to today's kids. Budgeting, credit, debt, investing, etc we feel are the core of personal finance knowledge. What personal finance topics did you learn in school? If your school was like mine, the answer is none! Let us know what subjects you wish you were taught and the ones you'd like to see taught to your kids!
PS - Another subject we remembered after recording had ended was TAXES - definitely needs to be added to the list.
