That's a good strategy if there isn't much time. Just getting people around to the fact that they don't truly understand money in the first place is a milestone in and of itself.

I guess for me it is really situational. How much time (and how much willingness does the other person have to listen and learn) all factor into the appropriate strategy.

I've always said, you have to meet ppl where they are, not where you want them to be.
