A basic personal finance class in high school would go a long way. Anyone take one of those in high school ( or even college )?

I graduated around the same time as the author, and I can't remember whether it was my loan provider (MyGreatLakes) or FAFSA, but I had to take a quick financial course online where every term in my student loans was spelled out: including interest rates, interest-only payments, amortization schedule, etc.

I'm surprised if this isn't standard, because it should be (with a refresher course every 6 months)
