99% of what is said in RDPD, by Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, Clark Howard, etc. is basic common sense.
Teaching at least ONE economics and basic living requirements (how to write a check, balance a checkbook, figure out APR vs APY, why you DON'T just pay the minimum on a credit card, rule of 72, etc.) during high school would help tremendously. My son's school did this and it really helped them understand when they covered in CC applications during college.
