<prompt> Human: Thinking back, personal finance was not really taught in my school district. Sure we had an economics class, but we were not taught how to manage money, about credit scores, home ownership, etc. Personal finance was left, it seems, to being taught at the home. Did your high school offer home economics or incorporated personal finances exercises in your economics classes? If so, what did they cover?  <response>: We had home economics, but it was pretty much limited to balancing your checkbook.
