Personal finance is a topic that should be taught to students in elementary school. Do you agree or disagree?

In

this

era, financial management has become

this

much important to humans that teaching

this

skill to primary

school

children is considered essential. I believe that adding

this

topic to

school

education is worthwhile because at early ages students have a better learning power, and

also

this

practice can become a habit in future.

This

essay would discuss the benefits of personal

finance

as a

school

subject.

Firstly

, individuals are better at adapting and learning new things at younger ages. A child can be easily taught about the importance of

money

, how to prioritize expenditure, how savings can work later on in life.

However

, once they grow older and start handling

money

without any management skills they find it difficult to adapt and learn to budget.

Besides

, at

this

age children usually start getting pocket

money

,

thus

they can apply their learnings about personal

finance

to spend and save

this

money

.

Secondly

, the skills learnt in childhood are more likely to become a habit while growing up. The procedures taught and followed at young ages usually continue throughout life,

hence

students practising

money

management at schools would always recall those teachings while making budgets.

For example

, I find some of my cousins were better than me, at managing their

money

while growing up and even now, because their schools had lessons about

finance

, which I did not get a chance to attend, so they can easily practice it unlike me. In conclusion, learning about

finance

is essential for everyone, so the earlier the better, as it is easier to learn in

school

days as well as it can become a part of a day to day life.
