This is why there needs to be a serious financial literacy class required in every high school that covers loans (school, residential mortgage, car, etc.), credit cards, investing, etc. Remember that many students need to make these decisions at 18 years old with no financial background and parents who may have little or no education about these matters, or potentially not speak English well enough to deal with these issues. It's insane to me today that we require Shakespeare but don't even offer a class about personal finance in most schools.
