Why School Doesn’t Cut It

While school provides a fantastic foundation, it often falls short in practical financial education:

1. Limited Curriculum: Most schools don’t offer comprehensive personal finance courses.
2. Theoretical vs. Practical: Real-world money management often differs from textbook scenarios.
3. Rapidly Changing Landscape: The financial world is evolving quickly, with new tools and challenges emerging constantly.
