Owen Cole, a senior at Elizabethtown High School in Kentucky, planned to attend Western Kentucky University after graduating. A financial literacy class changed his mind.
The 18-year-old, who takes home about $600 a month as a shift manager at a Chick-fil-A, now aims to attend a local community college for two years before transferring to a four-year state university. He expects this will help him avoid loans.

andrewrsorkin should some members of Congress take these classes?
The wsj is published in nyc? NYS has required an Econ course in 12th grade since 1989 that includes personal finance When I taught it I started with “yes, this is a course you will use again”.
So, don't get student loans? Ignore college?
About time.
This could help some students to avoid taking on unnecessary debit when they take college classes.
Well schools are finally teaching useful skills.

Good plan love to workd it in my country
This is important to teach but not to keep ppl from using social progs & benefits. We do a big push for financial wellness/literacy at the college where I work. We reach a lot of high school students too since HS juniors & seniors can take college classes for free in my state.
Better late than never.
Gosh how nice can the adults handle educating children when their barley potty trained themselves I mean education is last now thanks to Gov before Gov u had Education Medical Jobs Fresh Water Food Air Medical Vaccinations but now all u have is demons destroying it all from Gov
If their parents had a brain the taxpayer would not have to pay for their stupidity
What we should be doing is increasing the funding in our public schools, raise teachers salaries to maintain and attract better teachers, improve the quality of education overall, instead of trying to destroy it.
Some of us have been asking for this program for years even as far back as before the modern-day depression on our economy...
Thank you!
Great idea
Schools need to help students plan for their future. That means have them tested to see what they would be good at and then direct them for the right training or vocational schooling. Working people don't need welfare.
Classic example of how ignorant elite policymakers really are; the idea that poor ppl are poor because they’re lousy at managing money is textbook out-of-touch wealthy person thinking (all the financial literacy in the world doesn’t help when you’re not even paid enough to eat)
But that would involve teaching them you shouldn't ask for things that are unaffordable -- like 'free' college tuition.
Maybe we should set up classes for CEO’s and business owners (the Waltons and Jeff Bezos, especially) where they’re taught how to pay their workers a fair living wage so they don’t have to depend on taxpayers for food and healthcare despite being employed
How about offering this to Congress?
So what's the purpose of a parent. Kids use to be taught home economics, now it's sex education, money matters etc, etc.

Sure took decades. HomeSweetHome 📈🏡📉 Not only that, but they should go after house flippers that call several times a day, for day after day. They call themselves realtors, but don't provide agency listings or even use their real names.
