they don't teach money basics in school and i think that's appalling
like fam i don't need to know that sinθ/cosθ=tanθ but I DO need to know what the difference between an APR and an interest rate is but guess which one I was taught

why force children to learn differential equations that they will never use unless they go into a specific field of study instead of teaching them things that they need to know in everyday life like how the fuck debt/interest works
feeling particularly mad about it because my parents don't know this stuff and i had to learn it by myself by looking it up on fucking youtube and it's hard to get started when you don't exactly know where the starting point even *is*
but i have found this nice channel on yt and they have very simple videos on money basics so if anyone out there is struggling, go take a look (it's kind of US centric but i think a lot of things are still relevant)
