More states are requiring students to learn about personal finance before graduating. YPulse found that 58% of 19-to-37-year-olds wish their parents had taught them more about managing finances. Now, 21 states are making it a requirement for high school students to take a personal finance course as part of their curriculum. The class covers budgeting, saving, credit scores, the cost of borrowing, interest rates, and paying for college. The rising interest in financial education is driven by Gen Z’s worries about student debt. (NYTimes)
