I never learned about credit or personal finance in school, I didnt know about mortgages or federal taxes being taken out of my paycheck.. investing... none of it.


i think in the thread you mention, there is more to it than just school. i may be wrong, but my parents would be pissed if they bout me a car as nice as that and i wasnt doing my best. my first car was a 63 buick special and my parents bitched about their insurance going up soo much so i can only imagine what a bimmer would do...as far as c's go, i maintained a A average and i was still #212 out of 840 something in my graduating class. a C average isnt really an average grade anymore. although i do see your point on school not teaching you what you need in life, if someone has a car given to them by their parents that otherwise they could not afford, i beleive the parents do have the right to take the car away if they arent doing good in school.
