Probably not worth the trade off, however, I think that financial knowledge can be passed on while always stressing humility & not advertising what you make or how much you have.

That being said, I also think that a lot of people are stuck in a bit of a vicious circle. These same people know they don't have a lot of financial knowledge, but they also don't know who to ask or how to ask primarily because no one around them would talk about money or finances.
