Congress by the numbers

What Ohio teaches — and to whom

Ohio already requires 1 semester of personal finance for a high school diploma, a rule in force since the graduating class of 2026. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Congress, is most of the people reading this.

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.

Shift from accumulating to drawing down
