I am one of those people that believes that it's a parents job to teach their children about budgeting, shopping, cooking etc...life skills everyone should know growing up.
I understand people are busier these days (I have issues with this as well) so many eat out and just live week by week...do others think that it is up to the parents/families to do this or should they incorporate a budgeting class or life skills into schools?
I know that my hubby and I went without a lot when our kids were born so that one of us could always be home with them, be at their school events etc...they loved that we could be there for them...but this is a choice we made...I know not everyone has that choice but we taught them from a young age to budget (we use to tax their pocket money and take out sick leave etc), from the age of 2 they had chores and helped cook...
I'm just wondering what others thoughts are on this topic...do you think if more people learnt how to budget from a young age less people would be in debt??

I really think any school education is a thing of the past. Most schools will not touch a topic that may offend ANYONE so pointing out poor money skills would offend many.
It is a fact that our society is a get the newest gadget in the world but pay for it later mentality.

But I do agree a lot of people don't know how to budget but they could learn...I don't see why people would offended to learn a new skill...but people do get easily offended these days
Rob that is funny but yes I wish they taught it in schools as part of their maths programs
