I highly disagree with you about that, @odunybiz. Don't be deceived, despite the fact that financial education cannot make one very rich and wealthy due to some personal secumbtance of the individual in pursuit of riches, but financial education will not totally leave you in poverty, but rather only you (yourself) can choose to be very poor to the core. The reason why I said this is because financial education does not just educate and enlighten you on how to invest your money; it also teaches you the means by which you can generate income, how you can grow your income, how you can multiply your income, and how you can sustain your income. Financial education is not just based on one thing but is rather broad. So, don't see financial education as a waste of knowledge, because no knowledge is a waste. Most people, after acquiring certain knowledge that can help them generate money for themselves, they don't have the self-will and zeal to carry out what they have learned so they can make money; they just feel reluctant and dependent on others.
