Abstract: Personal finance and economics are two distinct subjects, with some common characteristics, that require instruction by highly qualified teachers. Both are critical to well-being of households, businesses, and the macro economy. The author discusses the evolving curricular requirements for economics and personal finance content and the importance of including both subjects in grades K-12 education.
