If financial education would have been given by the older generation and the younger generation would have taken it, there wouldn't have been any illiteracy problem. Also parental knowledge is not enough. Some formal education in the field should also be given Hi Miller,

Steve Miller Sat, 29 Aug 2009 12:08:13 +0000 http://www.prime-targeting.com/?p=1051#comment-1189 Thanks for the article, including many interesting stats. I think the emphasis on making personal finance an ongoing discussion, from childhood on, is right on target. I've been interviewing people over 50 years old, asking them what they've learned about personal finance that they'd like to pass on to the younger generations. They're so eager to share! The sad thing is, nobody seems to ask them for their wisdom. It's like, when they die, most of the older generation will take it's financial wisdom with them, partially because the younger generation failed to ask, but also because the older generation never engaged the younger in that ongoing financial conversation.
