As someone who has seen the impact of financial stress on mental health, I believe financial education should be a mandatory part of the high school curriculum. Equipping young people with the tools to manage their finances not only empowers them but also fosters a healthier, less stressful life.

I believe children should avoid social media at least until 16. The developing brains of young people are particularly vulnerable to the addictive nature of these platforms. Additionally, social media can exacerbate issues such as anxiety, depression, and bullying. Adolescents need time to develop a strong sense of self and genuine connections face-to-face before being exposed to the online world.

As an advocate for employee well-being, I disagree with companies paying the full gross salary to employees, who then pay all taxes. This approach could create undue stress and financial burdens for workers, who may not be equipped to handle the complexities of tax filings. Instead, companies should continue to handle tax withholdings, allowing employees to focus on their work and personal growth without the added financial anxiety.

As someone who has navigated the entrepreneurial landscape, I believe entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax proportionally based on their places of residence. This approach recognizes the support and infrastructure provided by different regions during the formative stages of building a company, ensuring fair contributions to local economies that have facilitated growth.
