Do you know that high school students aren’t taught personal finance. Too many people get suckered into thinking that buying things make them happy. We must go away from the buy-it-now way of thinking. Thinking about what you want in the future, that helps you avoid spending money today. You spend your money on things today that don’t help you reach the future goala. We need to think about self-care and being responsible. What about retirement and caring for our parents in our future, what about college for our children ? Who’s going to pay for it if we don’t plan for it? Who ? The State ? No way. They want our money too
