Having solid financial knowledge but no capital starts with empty hands, and what will guarantee that we won't give up halfway?
Moreover, for those who have solid financial knowledge or are already experts, how many people have already made millions of dollars?
For this type of question, I don't believe someone would choose financial education and ignore $1 million
.That's really a question I was also asking before I reached my conclusion concerning the OP's topic. There are people who have financial knowledge, a very good one at that, and they can even educate others, but they themselves have not made a million dollars.
Normally, gaining financial education would make one more exposed to ideas on how to make money, how to grow wealth, how to diversify investments, and how to make more money, but another thing is that not everyone will be that patient or go through the initial stage of acquiring wealth; not all will finish the race, and it is not guaranteed that they might not stop half way.
You can't speak for everybody. Obviously, there are still people who will chose financial education.
I know that even at my stage, I still need more financial education, but if I receive an offer that is close to OPs, then I will just take the money and learn other financial education courses that I am lacking.
