Is there scope to add a board for financial education by discussion focused primarily not exclusively on P2P? (Many interesting issues, such as how to read a balance sheet, are of wider relevance.) I was thinking that we could start one or two threads focused on specific topics per week.
There's a wealth of experience here, but there are also possible problems arising from Dunning-Kruger syndrome and imposter syndrome.
What brings this matter to my attention is the recent discussion on PGs on the MTAB822 thread, combined with comments on the thread I started on financial exclusion. I had thought the "PGs are not worth the paper they are written on" was hyperbole, and that people understood that what was meant was that 1) some PGs are nearly worthless, and 2) PGs are difficult to value, but I'm now wondering whether everybody did. A more focused discussion may leave less scope for people to draw the wrong conclusions.
