These types of classes at least attempt to address some of the 'how's' you've raised. Unfortunately, they're not available in all districts, such as mine. However, some are trying to get that changed.
Personal Economics.
After Junior year, every school should have 2 senior math classes. One continues to teach new maths and the other is personal econ which teaches practical real world applications of the things you learn up to your senior year. Balancing a check book, managing credit, how loans/mortgages/grants work. I took it in high school as an elective. It should be mandatory.
