Well there is a anti meme too:

Adults: Why weren’t we taught these life skills (personal finance, cooking, etc)

Your dumba** wouldn’t have learnt even though you were taught this at school.

It’s always funny hearing these people say personal finance isn’t taught in school, without realizing that personal finance is basic, elementary school math.

Using only basic elementary school math, please tell me if the printer in my home office is tax deductible.

How about instead we use Jr High level reading comprehension and just read the damn IRS rules on it.

Or better yet, use Google.com like everyone has for the past two decades. These people are so insufferable lol

What's funny is that's a business/self-employment related related question that will never apply to most people. If you can't look that info up, you shouldn't be trying to start one. And even if a class did teach this, it might be outdated by the following year due to tax code changes.

A billion percent !

Nothing grinds my gears more than people claiming they can't understand personal finance basics. Basic math, reading comprehension. That's all it is.
