MSE News: Schools should teach financial education, MP says

NRBurns

It's about time we had 'financial education to become a compulsory part of the school curriculum'. I am in my forties but So wish I had received financial education when I was at school. In Fact I wish My Parents had also had financial education as well, because the problems started with My parents not just with Me.
I learnt through playing the 'Cash-flow 101' game as designed and produced by Robert Kiyosaki, who also wrote the Rich Dad-Poor Dad series of books. I am So grateful to this guy for showing me my mistakes and enlightening me on how BAD my financial education was. AND, I have a degree in Electronics. But my mathematics did NOT teach me ANY financial education at all!! Fact!
In fact it has taken me over 14 years to get OUT of debt following on from my university education, even though I did that as a mature student after my military career. Now, I have learnt so much from playing cash-flow 101 and actually Seen from playing the game Where I was going wrong.
For those who would like to play the game without buying it, I have the game myself and welcome anyone to contact me to play the game and learn financial education. So yes, as for Financial education being made compulsory in school. About time too, and I Would Personally be Very Happy to teach it as well. In fact More than happy!!
