Absolutely agree. I had a consumer education course in middle school (a long, long time ago lol) and still remember a lot of what was taught in that class. It doesn't have to be too in depth at a young age, but teaching kids basic stuff like budgeting, saving, investing, whatever......should start somewhere around Grade 7 imo.
