I agree that we should teach math earlier, in elementary school the same math (fractions, percentages) were literally taught repeatedly from 3rd-6th grade. I would have loved to learn some algebra instead. The concept of doing the same thing to both sides of an equation to solve for an unknown is not terribly difficult to grasp.
As for finance, I’d rather be coloring world maps. It’s given me a great desire to travel the world. Finance makes my stomach hurt. Then again, I’m poor, so what do I know? I agree we should be taught more about it than we usually are, which is that we aren’t taught anything at all about it.
I remember learning algebra between 3rd and 6th grade. It was hidden within word problems, but 7 was exponents and everything after had a Cartesian plane
