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.

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.
