Several things dealing with money I was never taught: Taxes, Inflation, Personal finances, How to budget, How/what to save, How to avoid debt. Medical/life insurance, How to be prepared for emergencies, 401Ks, IRAs, Investing, How student loans work, Personal credit and credit cards. A few more things (other than what's listed above) I learned on my own that I feel everyone should be taught throughout their schooling: The Federal Reserve is a private company (a bunch of private banks) it is NOT a branch of the government and really has nothing to do with the government. What is real money and how it’s valued, What are paper assets and what are real assets. I have not ownership to these cartoon clips — education purposes only.
