I gotta say I'm in the parents never teaching about financial matters category. not that my parents regard them as unimportant, I'm not really sure what their view on it is. I think i'll wait a bit more before I ask them "how come you didnt teach me these things?" they certainly shouldn't expect me to learn them from public school. There was no mention of "you should save money" at all in highschool (at least, not that I can recall). I'm in college now and personal finance is still hardly something they go over. I think the earlier the financial education, the better off the kids will be. I was just thinking about that recently too and jot down my thoughts on it.

Funny thing is, their kids aren't kids anymore. The youngest is 25. My parents don’t think that any of their kids understand financial matters. Funny thing is, their kids aren’t kids anymore.
