TEENAGERS: Do you think it is important to learn about business and how to manage your finances early?

I'm 18 and I know I have..but by the looks of it..I'm the only one from a lot of my friends who has..I had to learn the hard way..family money problems..I have an ing savings account that i set up myself for school..I'm trying to avoid debt as much as possible..

unavoidable though..

have background in business and accounting too..so that helps..

I think it's very important to get your feet wet in finances before you set off on your own. If you don't, you're more likely (not destined) to fail. Most of us have no idea what lies ahead, because we don't take the time to think everything through.

i'm 15, and yeah i think it is important, at least the finance part is business might not be that important unless your going into business.
but if you learn how to handle your finances early, you'l handle money better when your older and keep track of it better, making things less confusing, well organized, you'l be ahead of other people your age then :)
