Personal finance course requirement heads to Indiana governor

So I just read this crazy article about how Indiana might be requiring high school students to take a personal finance course in order to graduate. Crazy, right?

According to the article, the bill has already passed in the Indiana House of Representatives and is now heading to the governor’s desk. If it passes, it would make Indiana the 21st state to require this kind of course. But why is this necessary?

Well, as someone who recently graduated college and is now facing a mountain of student loan debt, I can attest to the importance of financial literacy. I wish I had taken a course like this in high school, so maybe I wouldn’t have made some of the financial mistakes I made.

The article also mentions that many young adults today are entering the workforce without a solid grasp of things like budgeting, saving, and investing. And with the rising cost of living, it’s more important than ever to be financially savvy.

Overall, I think this is a great idea. It’s never too early to start teaching young people about personal finance, and it could really benefit them in the long run. Plus, it might even save them some headaches (and debt) down the road.

In conclusion, let’s hope Indiana’s governor signs this bill into law. It could make a big difference in the financial futures of many young Hoosiers.
