How much should education prepare people for personal finance in adult life?

Fed up with this question to be honest.

How do we all know what we know? As we chose to find out as it mattered to us.

I've lost count of the amount of people I've talked to, whose finances are a mess, and shown them many ways to save a pile of money. 6 weeks on, they've done nothing about it.

Teaching this stuff in school is a waste of curriculum time as paying tax and compound interest is perceived as irrelevant to most 16yr olds. They already cover some financial matters in pshe/maths-what in the current curriculum should be sacrificed to make room for this?
