Money management is NOT taught in the schools, unless you go to college and major in a financial field. Most of us learned it from a mentor. I guess I was an exception to that rule, as I squirreled away some time to teach my students a bit about investing in their own future. While the subject matter I was teaching was science, quite a number of my former students who contacted me thanked me for what I did in that regard. I always told them that they had to be smart enough to absorb and use the lessons.
