What Massachusetts teaches — and to whom
Massachusetts has adopted personal finance standards but has not made the coursework a condition of graduation. Which means for most residents of Leominster, whatever they know about money they picked up somewhere other than a classroom.
LearnLife organises this the way the decisions actually arrive: Emotional regulation — the self-management that decides whether the other skills ever get used; Money — budgeting, credit, debt and taxes — the mechanics nobody is formally taught; Legal literacy — leases, contracts, employment rights and what a signature actually commits you to.

Start with the money that moves every month
