re: How did you teach your kids financial literacy?

My parents and my wife’s parents were disasters with money,esp our dads’s .Me and my sisters and my wife and her siblings are all good money managers,we all had decent jobs and are relatively affluent.Our kids are all pretty much financial nincompoops.
What motivated our generation was growing up poor and deciding we didn’t want to live like that.Our kids grew not knowing poverty and they never learned the concept of delaying gratification for the future.
I tried to teach my step-sons about money but they never listened to that or anything else I tried teach them.One has gone bankrupt and the other one would if my wife didn’t prop him up.Same way my sister,she supplements her son’s income.
It’s a bad to keep adult children in a never ending state of dependency but it is what it is.

I just tell them to study the last two decades of American fiscal policy and do literally the exact opposite of everything the government has done.

Maybe someone should teach the old people running our country some financial literacy.

I was hoping they would by example.

But we probably gave them too much growing up.
