Nowadays it is very easy to find any knowledge, when I try to find ways to learn magic, there are many channels that can teach magic, if magic is more difficult to learn, it will be easier to learn education about finances.
Yes, knowledge is very important but nowadays finding and learning it is not too difficult. On the contrary, earning a lot of money or 1 million dollars is not possible for everyone, even for highly educated people. So it would be foolish for someone to skip a million dollars and choose financial education. But I bet there won't be anyone who isn't greedy and skips $1 million.
