Bottom line: without developing personal finance skills, your life is going to be hell. As a 21 year old in the current economy, I’m trying to do this as quickly as possible before I get out of college. I’ve recently come to the realization that my life is not what it should be, and this is merely because I never paid attention to my parents’ financial advice when I was younger. I’m not paying for it now—rather, the fear of graduation has sort of shocked me into action. Better now than after college. Neither I nor the rest of my 50% unemployed generation is going to get this chance again. Do it while you’re in college.

I’m a bit late in replying, but I think learning personal finance is important because we deal with it one way or another almost everday of our lives. It could be little things like setting up a budget before buying groceries, or bigger things like determining how to invest your money, but they’re all related in some way.

Without some knowledge of at least of basics of how money works, I think we’d all complain about not having enough, and have all sorts of money problems.

Its amazing. We’re all little links – how do we make the chain?

It seems like teaching PF in schools is an on-going debate. Are there credit card lobbyists stonewalling it from actually happening?

Paragraph worth re-reading: “Without learning personal finance, you’re going to lead a completely different life…”

Yup, just trying to make it as clear as possible why personal finance isn’t just some boring topic that only nerdy people learn. There’s a lot of power behind it.

I wish I was as far ahead of the game as you are when I was your age. Thank goodness it’s never too late. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it can make a huge difference in your options and that definitely spells freedom.
