Everyone always talks about financial math, but it seems like the more important thing is the math that would help you make money in the first place.

A "How to ensure that you never get a door dash or eating out or only fans habit" class, and creating a culture that didn't promote expensive status symbols might save people more money than knowing how to budget properly...

The average person makes money by being paid a salary, investing savings, and avoiding ruinous debt.

What you're talking about becomes a very salient way to introduce the notion of compounding returns on savings.
