1. Our education system needs to incorporate "LIFE SKILLS" classes that start in middle school and increase in depth in high school and college. Simple things like preparing a resume, interviewing skills, job search skills, tips on what employers are looking for, saving and opening a bank account, explaining health insurance (PPO, co pays), retirement planning (IRA, 401K, social security), investing for the future (stocks, bonds and cash), the cost of home ownership ( loan payments, taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance), the cost of raising a child ( food, shelter, clothing, medical expenses, education expense), the cost of owning a car (payments, taxes, fuel, insurance, repairs) Credit --- credit cards and interest payments, Credit Score -- how it is determined and how it impacts your ability to get credit and what interest rate you will pay and its effect on your ability to get a job, an apartment or loan for a home or car. These all have a huge impact on your success in life................. these LIFE SKILLS need to be taught in all our schools.
