Most Americans can't handle a $500 surprise bill

• bobby_9x 11y ago
  Most Americans have a cable+cell phone bill that is probably close to $500. If you cut down on some of these expenses (which is what I did when I didn't have any money), you can afford a surprise $500 bill. I know many people that spend that much on weed/cigarettes/alcohol in a month.

    Which is caused to our public school system not teaching financial literacy to high school students, because people in power don't want that. I suspect that in top private schools, financial literacy is rigorously taught, along with ways of starting a business, and hiring employees, and how to be a master (employer) to servants (employees).
