So can we talk about the fact in high school you learned the square root of pie,

but we don't learn how to budget our money?

Yeah, because it's amazing that it's like this knowledge that we really don't use in the real world.

We're taught, which I understand.

It's a good thing.

But also the things we need to know, we weren't always taught as kids and as teenagers. And so today I want to

offer a little bit of a crash course on five financial lessons that everyone should learn in

school. So before we get started, make sure to subscribe and share this episode, maybe with

your high school BFF. You know, why no? All right, the first

lesson we all should have learned before graduating from high school is how to budgets. I mentioned

that earlier, but it is so true. A zero-based budget is your income for the month minus all of your

expenses equals zero. And that includes some giving and saving there as well. But actually like

going through and just saying, hey, here's how to do a zero-based budget is so crucial. But granted, we're like not taught it. And if your parents didn't bring you

into any conversations, you have no idea how much lights and water are. So getting a realistic

expectation of life is so important. And Ramsey's most recent survey, the state of personal finance,

the research that we did, we found that saving

money was the top New Year's resolution for Americans. So if that's the case for you, a budget

is going to help you do that. So in my house, we use every dollar, which is an incredible budgeting

app and helps you so much when it comes to this concept of budgeting.

So if you find like, okay, I would need to learn how to just budget because I didn't learn

that in high school or I need to save some money or I have other goals.

Again, a budget is your best friend.
