This should be a required class in College, as well as High Schook, instead of some of the general education courses that really do nothing for you unless you are in that major. Yes being well rounded is important, but understanding money, mortgages, loans, interest, savings, 401k, IRAs, and saving for the future, are more important. The number of people going bankrupt or who are loosing their homes tells the story.

If you look at the standards and objectives of the core curriculum for financial literacy, it already includes the things that you want to add. So why create more legislation for that which already exists?
