Personal finance is now a mandatory course for graduating high school in Virginia. As in no pass, no diploma.

I can’t imagine some whiny dem teacher could say anything about personal finance that could be helpful

In my day “Personal Finance” was called basic arithmetic.

Same at our local high school.

My daughter is pretty financially literate as a result, but sits on too much of her part time work money.

Trying to get her to buy into compounding interest through some low risk investments so she would at least see return instead of the .12/yr she gets in interest in a savings account!

Slow process, but taking her with me to my next meeting with my advisor to help her get a better handle and confidence.
