That's the thing. I doubt most parents would consult with their children regarding investments or life insurance, either--or whether it was fine time to re-shingle the house. Parents do many things on behalf of their children because they are responsible for them in a way that makes the children subjects as opposed to individuals free to do what they want. Medicine and education is a whole other ballgame.

We should start treating people in high school as adults, because when they leave, that's what they are. Why high school doesn't cover more of life's essentials, I don't know. They should teach both politics and finance in high school.
