I sort of did take a class like that, but I took it because I was hopeless at math. So, it was, like, me and the pregnant girls and people that came back after juvie and that kind of stuff. as suburban as I grew up, I expected that they'd be a lot different than me, but maybe just their plans were not as big--well, we see how that worked out on my end, huh? Since I was, you know, practically starting from zero, or maybe minus 2, I learned a fair bit about finances there, whether it was objectively a good class or not, but I don't think that was the most important thing I got from being there.

Thanks, all!

I did an independent study econ class my senior year, where I had to write a 1-page paper on some academic economics topic. The regular class did more like the stock market game. Pretty sure I got the better end of that deal.

I continue to think we need a 1 semester Highest School for, like, 23 year olds, for all the "we told you this 5 years ago, but you didn't believe us. But now you've thrown out your back a couple times and fucked up with credit cards and done your taxes, so let's go back over it now you get that it's important" stuff
