Oh please. We care, of course we care. Our politicians have opinions on all this, but there is only so much we can do at a time. We are one country, of about 250 worldwide. Every time a country does something stupid (which is about every second, including our own) we have to pick our battles. So if your point is…

I just wish someone had told me how important it is to have substantial savings in college. I only just recently figured this out and I'm scrimping in a ridiculous way that I wouldn't have had to if I'd only started really trying to save during high school.

I have not the faintest idea of what the true situation is with either Usher or Tameka, but I just want to say that Usher Raymond V is a precious little button and I hope he is OK very very soon.

And this is exactly why I don't understand the idea that it's "taboo" to talk to your children (and peers) about money. While the school system should have a class on finances, I feel that parents should take the time to have their kid sit with them while paying bills.

If the current educational system taught the truth about economics and finances then it would put itself out of business. Therefore it does not.

Well hello everybody, I AM A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT and I figured I what at least weigh in my input being in the public school system my whole life. Though I say public school I really should clarify it is a "choice" school meaning you have to enter a lottery for admission due to so many applicants. Throughout my entire…

I think that's part of it, but a lot of it is just the disappearance of jobs because of tech too. My brother and I delivered newspapers. Remember newspapers? Nowadays, so few people get them that rather than having small neighborhood routes that could be done by a kid on foot, they need adults to drive cars to…

Yeah and theres no reason why they don't. Learning complicated mathematics in relation to interest rates, loans, credit, taxes, and household budgeting should be taught to EVERY student EVERY year.

Part of that is the minimum age legal requirements. I don't know if it varies by state, but I know around here you have to be 16 unless you're working in your family's business.

I didn't have any savings in college because I hadn't yet had any income (or at least not enough to really save), but yeah, basic financial skills are a big deal.

My son's university has a 1 credit course that teaches "grownup" skills like this. But, yeah, it needs to be taught much earlier.

I got lots of money management, advice, and hands-on all through highschool.

This is decent starter to savings article - emergency savings is called that for a reason. CC debt isn't an emergency. A new job isn't. Remodeling the kitchen definitely isn't. But a failing car definitely is, especially depending on where you live where public transportation may not be doable (or acceptable). Once…

One day, I'd love to get involved at schools and make this happen. Student loans, credit cards, etc. are SERIOUS financial products that students need to be educated on!

My school has started trying to do this in your Senior year, but it's still not nearly as useful as it could be. I'd love to see it expanded, instead the 2 lectures it is now.

I disagree with Tonya. I think that all three uses made sense.

Ugh. As an Australian (who originally lived pretty close to where this was filmed, and set) I'm pretty pissed off about the cover. It's not a "marketing" choice (although I'm sure that's what Anchor Bay thought they were doing), it's racist, and sexist (hello, intersectionality!).

I can't @ people who see this as a "marketing issue" rather than a "sexist, racist" issue. Not many people know who Chris O'Dowd is in the first place, but for those who do and for those who are fans of him, it's not impossible that these people wouldn't gravitate towards the movie with the original cover. So the…

Chris O'Dowd IS The Sapphires, on DVD now.

I've lived in both countries. America wins by a long stretch.
