When I was a lad – a good start for any commentary – we didn’t know anything about money. I got pocket money from my dad. But if I begged hard enough and long enough, my dad would relent and buy me that Batman car I had been hankering after.
When I was at school, they taught maths, English, sciences and history. All important subjects. However, I don’t remember a single lesson about how to manage a bank account.
