Finances now on the English curriciulum.

And about time too. Working where I work, and considering myself relatively clueless about finances even then, it's constantly worrying to me just how many people don't understand how basic products like credit cards, loans and mortgages work.

There's even an entire industury charging up to 30% (plus VAT of course) of any redress you get to file your complaint. And despite subtlely trying to hint you need them or they improve your chances - it's a totally unnecessary industry on the scale we see it. Most of the time they're just writing two or three letters anyways!

So yes. I fully endorse this addition to the curriculum. No matter how basic it might turn out to be, Finances need to be taught from a young(ish) age!
