Financial literacy is making a comeback in Southern California classrooms, and the Golden State will soon require high-school students to take personal finance courses to graduate — turns out framing math around money gets kids hooked. Meanwhile, school lunch prices are climbing: Bread up about 3%, fruit around 5%, plus pricier bologna, peanut butter and juice, so parents are turning to AI for cheaper lunch hacks.  

It was 49 years ago today that Elvis Presley died at 42, and a viral video is making the rounds about how access to grandma’s house can make you feel rich in this affordability crisis. Lou notes that the wealthy teach their kids financial literacy, poorer families teach them not to waste money, while the middle class often gets neither — and he argues against inheritance taxes since heirs tend to blow it anyway. British thinker Rory Sutherland also weighed in on how the double-income household went from optional in the 1960s to basically mandatory.
