This is post is very true. I have spent several years asking that same question to myself and out loud to others, "Why isn't the subject of money taught in schools?"
We work 35+ hours a week for most of our lives and yet, few of us actually understand how money works.
That (un)obviously leads most of the world's population to not enjoy life in all of its fullness.
It appears that @ladyaryastark 's comment is true....
"For the current financial system to continue functioning and supporting its corrupt elites, it needs the general population, ordinary people, to remain ignorant."
So what do / can we do about that? Yes, we can educate our children, families and friends, but how do we make a global impact regarding this subject?
