Bravo! As someone involved in the financial industry I'm always saddened to see people complicate their lives financially due to a lack of education on basic pricipals. It always amazes me that a large chunk of the general population has no idea how to sign a check, where money comes from, or even how to keep track of their expeditures. I thought I would only be asked once if I could go in the back of the bank and print out some new money, I was wrong!

Great! If Bush would only have taken classes like these. This is a bad example. It's easier to teach a pig to sing.

It's a shame that this has to come after so much financial upheaval. Too bad the parents of these children didn't learn anything from the previous generations who had to make do with a lot less.
