I think everyone should learn how to manage their money early. Understanding budgeting, saving, and avoiding unnecessary debt makes a huge difference over time. It's one of those practical skills that can reduce stress and make everyday life much easier.

Yes, financial management is suppose to be among the first things children learn. It's not all these cram and pour alone. You have to teach people how to budget, save, avoid unnecessary debt. It would save many people from avoidable mistakes.

There are plenty of practical skills people wish they'd learned sooner. What everyday skill would you put at the top of the list? Why do you think it isn't taught more often?

This is kind of a tricky question because in my mind it breaks down into three different categories.
As a child you learn from your parents early rules and habits and values unspoken beliefs as to how the world works
Then you have you have education, learning lessons in a classroom, your teachers and books shape you’re thinking and skills came through the structure of studies.
Lastly is social environment,peer learning from your friends and your neighbors lesson from the local Neighborhood and shared experiences depending on where you grew up.
I think there must common answer you’re going to get is how to handle your money

Cook, change a tire, read a map, drive a manual trans auto, start a fire without lighter or matches. Those come in handy.
