What School Still Isn’t Teaching About Money
Most adults were never taught how money works...and kids are starting to notice.
The other day my son said something that stuck with me:
“They’ll spend three weeks teaching us about the Revolutionary War, but zero time on compound interest.”
He’s not wrong.
School doesn’t teach ownership. It teaches employment.
We tell kids to get good grades so they can get good jobs. But nobody teaches them how to build cash flow, read a financial statement, or create wealth. Nobody breaks down the difference between linear income and exponential income.
Linear income means you trade time for money. You stop working, the money stops.
Exponential income grows without you. One rental turns into ten. Now you’ve got income that works whether you do or not.
The system was built to produce workers. But the world has changed. Job security isn’t guaranteed anymore. What kids need now is a different kind of education:
-How to analyze a deal
-How to build systems
-The difference between good debt and bad debt
-How to grow capital
-How to solve real problems
That’s what sets them up for long-term success. Not just a diploma. Following instructions might get you a job. Solving problems builds freedom.
This is the stuff I want my kids learning. And these are the conversations we should be having at home.
What’s one money lesson you wish you learned earlier? Drop it below. Someone out there needs to hear it.
