My Parents Were Stupid – 254Debug

A post on X suggested that parents should have emphasized financial literacy as much as they emphasized religion while raising their children. While this sparked thoughtful discussions, one user’s harsh comment, “They were stupid,” stood out as unnecessary and disrespectful. Many parents did their best with the knowledge and tools available to them. Calling them “stupid” ignores generational gaps, cultural priorities, and the fact that conversations around financial literacy are only recently gaining prominence. Instead of insults, such discussions should promote understanding and encourage future parents to strike a balance between faith, moral upbringing, and financial education for their children.
