There is a whole generation in this country that doesn't understand what it is to live within your means or how to budget your expenses. I'm surprised to learn that now our kids are taught in school (fifth grade) how to balance a checkbook! Somebody higher up in the school board must have realized what a dire situation this country has gotten itself into because adults can't budget their lives. It now must be force-fed to the general population because people can't figure it out otherwise.
I guess it is a good thing that this is taught to kids at young age, I just remember seeing my parents with the bills spread across the table and the checkbook out. I asked what it was all about and they said something like: "Don't spend more than what's in your account or can afford at that moment". It didn't seem that mysterious to me...
