      Not when teens have access to finance 101 classes in high school. It was an elective in my HS and you better believe I took it. I learned how to do my taxes, balance a budget. It was great. I wish this was a hard requirement for all HS students.

      But I will agree, teenagers are pretty stupid. but at least I was a knowledgeable stupid teenager.

      I got my credit card as a teen and never used it like a dumbass. Teaching people about money goes a long way.
