Name: Anton Tucker on Jan 31, 2013Comments: I agree that the new generation should be taught about the dangers of debt, which our generation clearly did not understand. This should however be part of a Financial Management 101 course. Thanks, Anton TuckerFlag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 31, 2013Comments: Good idea! High school personal money management curriculum should also include creating and monitoring your own cash-flow, cash reserves, car purchases, rent vs own a home, how much and where to save for retirement to be on track, etc. In my area (Seattle, WA) many college bound kids can't fit this type of class into their schedules, they're too busy taking a foregin language, more math etc. or other electives for college prep. These are the basics that everyone should know. Good luck with your initiative, it's worthwhile.Flag
