@straightarrownews: California just became the 26th state to require high schoolers to take a personal finance class to graduate. Mandating these courses in public education is widely supported but it has taken the country a long time to implement. According to Next Gen Personal Finance, only five states had the same requirement five years ago. Research from Next Gen and Tyton Partners found that California students who take the one-semester course will experience a $127,000 lifetime benefit.
