What Missouri teaches — and to whom
Missouri already requires 1 semester of personal finance for a high school diploma, a rule in force since the graduating class of 2010. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Clifton Hill, is most of the people reading this.
LearnLife organises this the way the decisions actually arrive: Legal literacy — leases, contracts, employment rights and what a signature actually commits you to; Money — budgeting, credit, debt and taxes — the mechanics nobody is formally taught; Emotional regulation — the self-management that decides whether the other skills ever get used.
Where to start in Clifton Hill
Start with the money that moves every month
For most households in Clifton Hill, the fastest gain is not an investing strategy — it is seeing the recurring outflows clearly, knowing what a credit score actually responds to, and understanding which line items on a payslip are negotiable.
