I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people believe this debt education class is worth our time. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who took a moment to join this cause.

They teach us how to find x but not how to do taxes or manage a credit card. Fix this.
Schools are failing kids by not teaching them about money. My brother is 20 and already deep in credit card debt. Needs to change now.
My son graduated last year and had no idea what he was getting into with student loans. Teach them young.
Good idea. Way too many people out there drowning in debt because they just didnt know any better when they were young.
About time. Kids leave high school with zero clue about interest rates and it ruins their future.
