Should school children have lessons on financial responsibility?

Yes, for me, it is absolutely essential.

I didn’t have lessons like these at school but I think they would have benefited me a great deal.

For example, when I got my first credit card, I now know I should have paid more attention to the implications of using it.

I found I was spending too much, and often forgot to make the repayments, so I got into debt very quickly.

Perhaps if I’d understood them better, I might have avoided this.
