What do you want to learn? Life lessons (taxes, investments, money management), DIY stuff, etc.? Why do you want to know how or
svp [43]

Answer:

Well this is just my opinion  

I want to learn more life lessons. I think it is important for classes to teach thing that we will use later in life. I think learning how to do taxes will benefit the class so when we get older we don't commit tax fraud. I think money management is a great way to have us use are knowledge of money we already have and we can learn to save money. There are a lot of benefits of learning life lessons. In my opinion life lessons are important for everyone to learn at some point in there life but it's better to learn them at a younger age.
