Re: Should a basic personal finance class be mandtory in High School?

I balanced my mother's checkbook in the 4th grade. Seriously.

Having said that, if the fodder felt that a class was necessary, it could definitely replace one of your more worthless classes, like history or social studies.

If not, fine with me. The truth is that America prospers as a whole when stupid people indebt themselves. I call it "economic Darwinism".
