Flip that figure and it describes 45.4% of the 97 adults 25 and over counted in the 2019–2023 ACS, about 44 people whose money skills came from somewhere other than a university.
Kentucky has committed to a full year of personal finance as a graduation requirement, phasing in with the class of 2030 — so today's middle schoolers will be the first cohort held to it. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Ten Broeck, is most of the people reading this.
