I completely agree.
More 'life lesson' type of classes need to be taught at earlier ages. I know when I hit 18 and I got my first credit card I had no freaking idea how to manage my money responsibly. I had plenty of friends who were even worse than me. I think by 20 we all had pretty significant credit card debt ($1,000 or more).
It took me until just a few years ago to finally erase all of my credit card debt.
