Who know NJ had it in em?

According to this story: "High school seniors would be taught how to write a check, manage credit card debt and obtain a mortgage under a bill advanced in the New Jersey Senate."

This is a brilliant idea, and one that should be done nationwide. With so many people in debt up to their eyeballs, and with shady marketers all around...the best defense is simple...it's education.

Bravo to NJ, I hope this passes and is signed into law.

Put wrong comment on wrong entry...DOH! I learned some basic econ yeah, but not about how credit card stuff works on a real-world level (aka: How I could get screwed by a credit card company and/or student loans).
