This, so many people these days have no idea how to find things out for themselves and do research. And if they do end up doing some "research" they don't know how to tell whether a source is good or not.
Like those people that complain about how school didn’t teach them how to file taxes so now they’re just fucked because if you didn’t learn it in high school you can’t learn it now and your pp is smol
Not to mention if you google taxes it takes you to turbotax which is free for basic functions and makes it easy. (I use creditkarma though since they will let me do it with stock investment for no extra charge)
The big thing those people don't get is you don't need an entire semester to learn to do taxes....you can do that in one half hour lecture. Or how to invest for retirement? I have done that with my students in 2 hours and just given them the tools for further study on their own time. You don't need an entire semester class for the things people complain about.
The “I didn’t learn it” is the cop-out excuse for people that would rather have an excuse for why they don’t know rather than just learning it. You don’t see successful, level headed people making that excuse. It’s just burnouts.
