    12 Important Financial Concepts You Didn't Learn in School


    Interesting article, although I wonder if people here already know more about these concepts than the average person. I still found the simple, concise descriptions helpful.

    Schools don't teach enough about financial situations. There should be more personal finance courses for seniors, in my opinion.

    As an aside, there are too many people that think just because a coin flips 5 times heads, it has a better chance flipping tails next time.

    I still wrestle with sunk costs, especially with my loser investments.
