What They Never Taught Us About Money — But Should Have

We go to school for 12+ years and learn all sorts of things — algebra, history, photosynthesis, and how to label parts of a frog 🐸. But do you know what most of us never learn?

How to manage our money. 💰

We’re taught how to earn marks…
But not how to earn, save, and grow money.

And that’s a problem. Because no matter what you want to do in life — become a doctor, engineer, artist, coder, teacher — you’ll need to know how to manage money.

The sooner we learn, the better we’ll be prepared for real life.

What We Do Instead

Since no one teaches us this stuff early, most people just pick it up as they go — often the hard way.

Here’s what usually happens:

  • We get a job and feel rich for the first time
  • We open a bank account, get a debit card
  • Soon comes credit cards, EMIs, maybe some mutual funds
  • And before we know it, we’re juggling money across 5 apps, 3 banks, and 0 clear idea of where our money is going

Even adults who’ve been working for 10–15 years struggle with questions like:

  • “How much am I actually saving every month?”
  • “What’s my net worth?”
  • “Can I afford to take a break next year?”
  • “How will I plan for my kids’ education or my parents’ health?”

And it’s not their fault — they were never taught to think about money this way.

The One Thing We Should Have Learned

If there’s one thing school should’ve taught us early, it’s this:

Money isn’t just about earning — it’s about clarity.

It’s about knowing:

  • Where your money comes from (income)
  • Where it goes (expenses)
  • What’s growing (investments)
  • What’s holding you back (loans or EMIs)
  • And how it all adds up (your net worth)

That’s what gives you peace of mind, not just a fat paycheck or a fancy investment.

So, Where Do We Start?

You don’t need a finance degree. You just need a little awareness and the right tool.

It lets you:
