Investing should totally be part of school curriculums. It’s key for building wealth and achieving financial independence. Look at Warren Buffett, he started young and look where he is now. Imagine if more kids learned this early on.

They do touch on investing, but it’s usually just a small part of economics classes. Honestly, there are so many different kinds of investments. But yeah, digital assets like Bitcoin could be a great way to grow wealth if you actually understand what you’re doing.

Schools mostly train us to be employees, not entrepreneurs. How many kids dream of starting their own business? Not many.

Teaching investing as a standalone subject could really help. It’s about financial stability. Relying on a paycheck isn’t enough; constant investment is the real key to wealth. All the wealthy folks I know made their money through smart investments.

Definitely worth discussing. But will lawmakers even consider funding this? Sure, it could boost financial literacy, but they might see it as a risk. Plus, finding qualified teachers to teach investing? Good luck with that.

True, I agree with the title. But let’s stop obsessing over financial freedom. You know what Buffett does every day? He still works! Most of his wealth came after 65. Slow and steady wins the race.

Nothing worthwhile comes easy. Starting an investment journey can be rough, but starting small is key. Stick with it, and over time, you’ll see growth. A solid portfolio brings peace of mind.

But not every school teaches business stuff, especially if you’re pursuing a degree in something else. There are specific schools for this, and not everyone is interested in investing.

Investing is key for wealth creation, and this includes investing in yourself education, skills, etc. But just because you invest doesn’t mean you’ll end up rich. Just look at all the failed crypto projects.

Totally agree that investing should be taught! Most grads leave school without knowing how to manage money or invest. Teaching these skills could really help them make better financial decisions.

Sure, investing is taught, but it’s not just about that. You’ve got to enrich yourself first, mentally and emotionally. Wealth building is more than just investing; it’s about saving and making smart choices over time.

You gotta put in resources time, money, effort to see decent returns. Just like gardening; you can’t expect a harvest without planting seeds.

Investments are key. They help combat inflation and provide extra income. Basically, wealthy people hold off on instant gratification to build their financial future.

Investing isn’t just about getting rich; it’s a way to manage finances better. Everyone should know what investing is for, even if they can’t afford to do it right now.

Are we talking financial investments or just investing in general? Many wealthy people didn’t just get rich through assets like gold and Bitcoin. They created value through skills and businesses.

For sure, no one becomes wealthy without investing. It’s essential for nations too. Reforming education to focus on investments could benefit everyone, but starting at 11 might be a stretch.

Honestly, I don’t think of investing as a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s more about long-term discipline and improving my financial situation for later in life.

To succeed, you gotta be patient and focused. Wealth isn’t built overnight. Look at Buffett; he didn’t give up and succeeded over time.

Investing isn’t for everyone. It takes passion and a willingness to analyze opportunities. Those who want to succeed never stop learning and exploring.

No doubt, investing can boost our wealth and promote financial freedom. Sure, it’s discussed in high school, but only briefly. We really need more detailed education on it.
