Things I've encountered in life that I wish I'd learned in school:
1. What different types of insurance mean and what all the insurance terminology means.
2. What to do if you have a car accident and all the scenarios that could occur.
3. How to search for an apartment in or out of state.
4. How to manage finances and create a budget.
5. How to save for retirement.
6. How to repair my car and change the oil.
7. How to do basic repairs around the house.
8. How to do taxes.
9. How to apply for financial aid for school.
10. How to manage credit cards and the importance of paying them off monthly.
I guess the reason your parents seem so smart is they learned a lot of these things through experience and then handed them down to their kids. The only problem is, half the time I wasn't listening. But thank you Mom and Dad. Hopefully some day I'll know just as much.
