If you don't know how to manage money in this culture you are sunk. The teacher must also know the concepts and vocabulary, which I am thinking they may not always. Then I would suggest going to a financial advisor or planner and getting the right vocabulary, concepts and knowledge. Car payments, interest, how does interest compound--all of that. My experience is that most people, not just most women, don't know how to navigate through these waters. And the people with these skills and knowledge are employable. With the US government about to go into crisis management political mode over social security, I think financial information is awfully important. Thanks for asking the question. Andrea
