I suppose to a degree the devil is in the details and again allowances must be made for individuals at different stages of being able to grasp what is being presented, but it can be done.

On a different topic, I was having a email exchange with a friend discussing funding one's retirement and household budgets. We were both discussing our amazement in conversations we had through the years with co-workers immersed in their present day worlds, just figured things would take care of themselves and getting to their golden years found out that was not the case.

I believe that our education system needs some serious changes to deal with necessary life skills and both of these need to be opening and throughly discussed along the way as children move through the system.
