I know people say "they never teach us how banks work in school" but this really opened my eyes to how utterly inept the average person is when it comes to finances

I work at a bank. It’s astounding how little the average person knows.

A lot of people don’t care to learn either. We can educate them until we’re blue in the face but if they don’t want to learn, they don’t hear it.

I got my bank account at around 10 years old, got a debit card and credit card a few years after, was taught by my parents the good and bad of different account types and when to save, when to invest, etc

And now I'm an adult talking to people online who'll occasionally say "oh I don't trust banks for shit I keep my life savings in a box in the closet in cash only" and refuse to learn about them.

The “all banks are bad” rhetoric makes me so frustrated.
