Did you learn in school or any other educational institution about how to prepare for your retirement? Did you get lessons about how to save on taxes? Did they show you how to fill in essential forms? How the basics of loans and interest rates do work? What you need to know about insurances? What you need in life seems sometimes different from what schools teach you? Why?
I teach a business calc class and even though I can tell you the basics of how different loans / investments work, it’s all theory. I don’t really know how the actual stock market works or how you’d get started with investing something. As for my house loan, I still had to research and learn on my own how everything was calculated. I don’t know if there’s a single class that can truly cover everything you mentioned. But… hopefully all the math / reading / thinking classes you take in school can provide you with the skills necessary to do the research on your own and educate yourself.
