    False, because people don’t actually say that. Most people are two months away from being broke.

    They don’t teach personal finance in school, but they should. It would help many people to not fall into bad debt. (Mortgage can often be considered “good debt” but most other credit is bad.)

      Sadly, personal finance acumen wouldn’t save us from low wages, inflation, and ever-increasing cost of living.

      I think all schools should teach shop class. That way, you’d always know someone with the know-how to build a guillotine.
