He comes up short on a lot of things and somethings he is just flat out wrong about. He is still telling folks to put cash in envelopes, but people under 25 can't even find envelopes in a Walmart because they hardly ever use them anymore. And folks under 20 have trouble operating an envelope.



Public schools don't teach personal finance, because they don't want young people knowing about frugality. Next thing you know they will be questioning government deficit spending and why there's no balanced budget and why we need to pay $350 million for each fighter jet and why a space hammer costs $485k.
