I agree with Yana. Not every parent has the knowledge to understand the importance of taking advantage of 401K matching at companies, and similar simple strategies that can work for everyone, as a starting point. It’s unfortunate because the individuals who are in the know most likely have at least some money to invest to make more in the first place, whereas the people who are unaware may be pinching pennies to survive, and could certainly use more.

I think how to invest should be a class taught in high school because it is very useful and I think necessary as a regular income will not be enough in the future - additional sources of income from investment will help with living expenses
