    I still have nostalgia for stuff I listened to at 14. But I would say my music tastes solidified more around the age of 25. Fairly broad tastes in music depending on my mood. It’s easier to list bands and music I hate than everything I like. I suspect a lot of people are the same.

    As many comments pointed out already, in the USA we usually learn to play the recorder in 3rd grade. It’s not exactly an age where it makes any sense to try and learn how home mortgages work.

    Though, I very much recall having some basic “personal finance” education in elementary school. It’s the age where you are learning about currency denominations. How many quarters, dimes, etc. to make a dollar.

    When I was in high school we were all required to take an “Economics” class where they did try to cover balancing a checkbook and basics like that. I just don’t think most kids paid much attention. I know I didn’t.
