In the early 1970s in 7th grade we were required (I think) in the Seattle Schools District to take a class called "Business Principals". We learned how to write checks, even two party checks, about interested and compound interest. Also, we learned about comparative shopping, to ignore such things a "king size" or "jumbo" and do the price per ounce or pound compare. It was a fun class. Of course my parents grew up during the depression and thus I learned a lot from them. Dad loved to go to garage sales, all the thrift stores, auction houses and swap meats in and around Seattle. I didn't know how to buy a house, so in 1999 I bought a copy of "House Buying For Dummies"....I don't know if it's been updated for the current evil and manufacture (by F**king greedy mutants), but even if is not, that book, or some think like it, SHOULD be required reading by all people who want to buy a house.

Oops, I am getting off track....we need to tell all our local school districts that all children in all U.S. schools NEED to be taught basic financial fundamentals. And a lack of that, let's start giving our local schools copies of Suzy Orman books.
