Shouldn’t schools start to offer extracurricular subjects that focus on money management?


Academic lessons and Sports activities are important in a person’s learning process in life. But times have change and it has become the truth that only those are not enough to secure our survival. People are already suffering due to the lack of options on where to get themselves enough income to live in the current society, where majority are working and laboring but at the same time digging themselves deeper into debt every year and, possibly, every day.

Mathematics: Money or Shapes?
Financial literacy is a subject that each and every one of us should learn. That is the purpose of our math subjects in the first place, isn’t it? We have to know how to budget our money and use them wisely to sustain our very needs. But sadly, instead on focusing on the money, we focus on other things in the math lessons such as figures and trigonometry used by engineers. Not everyone becomes an engineer but everyone uses money, correct?

Science of Money
In order to use money, people need to know about the money. Some says it’s the root of all evil. Is that the truth or just a superstition? It becomes evil if the person in question does evil deeds to earn money. He becomes a slave for money but it is not the case if the person is USING the money.
Money is a tool that is used to get what a person needs like food, clothes and shelter. It is a power that is neutral in every aspect: not evil but also not good. It depends upon the person who is using this tool. Just like science. Do you get what I’m saying? We use tools such as science and money to make our work load easier and our life better.
