This is what the education system has done to the latest generation, folks.

Seriously. They taught currency in grade one when I was growing up.

If by "financial things" you mean like credit cards, banking, etc., OP, there are some steps you can take.

1. Open a bank account. Walk into most convenient branch to your house (that requires the least amount of travel and is open during the most convenient hours for you). Go to the Information desk as soon as you walk in. Ask to speak to someone about opening an account.

Explain to the account manager you want a starter's bank account. If you're the right age, you can get a student account, which has significant savings on account charges, etc.

DO NOT LET THEM GIVE YOU A CREDIT CARD. If the account manager starts overloading you with info, or overwhelming you with too many options (this will be your red flag), bail and find another bank. The best thing to do would be to find a credit union, but those are hard to find, these days.

The best way to learn how to manage your finances, is to start managing your finances. If you can do that while you're still living at home, and have a safety net, you're golden. (Just don't get a credit card right away. Or, you know, EVER.) Trust me on this. The one way you DON'T want to learn how to handle your finances, is when you really really need to, and you're hopelessly lost. So good on you for wanting to be proactive, OP!
