      Personal finance classes probably would have a non-negligble impact on the people that just mindless spend and don’t save for retirement etc.

      But I would think also that the wildly inflated housing and child care costs and the inelastic demand between the two means just an unexpected health emergency or unanticipated home maintenance spending would leave a family in debt and living paycheck to paycheck until its paid off.

        If you’re making $100K you probably have a college degree and therefore student loans to pay as well.

      The problem isn’t 40+ years of stagnant wages and corporate greed, it’s because people need classes on how to be poor correctly.

      That’s how you sound right now.

          Pretty shitty of you to compare the spending habits of celebrities with normal people, there isn’t an intellectually honest bone in your body and I legitimately don’t understand how you can look at yourself in the mirror every day.

      Well, my own observation shows me that most people don’t know the first thing about basic finances: compounding interest, budgeting, critical thinking when seeing advertisements, and the cost of take-out vs making dinner are some examples.

      For gods sakes, check your credit card and bank balances once in a while!. smh.
