> Why itβs worth paying attention in math class.
Math class does not teach practical knowledge such as personal finance or health.
Citadel returns since 1990 is 38% annual returns before fees to outside investors. They have a 5:50 fee structure. There are hundreds of more firms, staying out of the public eye.
You don't need to know anything about finance or health to know how percentages and compounding work.
Besides, I knew nothing about construction when I discovered that the contractor I hired to pour a patio was overcharging me by 30%. All it took was a bit of geometry I learned in grade school.
Pay no attention to math in school and you'll be prey to every scammer who did, and you'll never realize it.
