When I was in high school they taught “home economics”, and it wasn’t just cooking and sewing and girl classes either.
They taught you how to make a basic home budget at a specified income level; how to bank your check, how to balance a checkbook, how to pay your bills (on time), how to budget for fuel, groceries, recurring monthly costs and how to save what was left over for those emergency expenses (not a new pair of tennis shoes).
Of course that was a very long time ago and most of us guys didn’t much care for it, but it was a GRADUATION REQUIREMENT!
As it should be !
