Should we be teaching some of this money management stuff in school? I recall taking CALM (Career and Life Management) and the education amounted too:
- Credit cards are evil
- Invest a percentage of your income into mutual funds and by the time you're 45 you'll be stinkin' rich
- Now here's an egg, go run off and pretend its a kid.
Are we teaching our youth anything about real estate, mortgages, and for that matter other money management/investment strategies?
Seems to me that we are focused on one path - the RRSP one. Which is really just a part of the bigger puzzle.
Course this is all based on what I remember learnin' maybe there was more there than I recall.
