The take-away here is probably teaching kids from like grade 5 on and up on how to amortize loans and debt repayment. The math is useful and it'd be good to drill in to every kid out there.

Maybe it's different in New York, but interest calculations were a part of the Grade 11 math curriculum when I was in school. Grade 12 math is a hard requirement for most undergraduate degrees.
