Which financial life skill do you wish you'd learned at school?
British schools teach plenty about Pythagoras but rarely about pensions or PAYE. We're asking which money lesson would have made the biggest difference to your adult life.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Understanding pensions and compound interest
From auto-enrolment to SIPPs, knowing how pensions actually grow could change retirement for millions. Most of us only figure it out in our forties.
B
How mortgages and interest rates really work
With base rates shifting and remortgaging decisions worth tens of thousands, mortgage literacy is arguably more useful than algebra ever was.
C
Filing a self-assessment tax return
As side hustles and self-employment grow, navigating HMRC's portal is a genuine life skill. Yet most of us learn it through panic in January.
D
Budgeting and managing a current account
Tracking direct debits, avoiding overdraft fees and building a buffer sounds basic, but few leave school knowing how to do it properly.
E
Investing in stocks and ISAs
Stocks and shares ISAs, index funds and risk tolerance remain a mystery to many Britons. A few lessons could unlock decades of growth.
