Yes, mal-educated
This might work if you could show that they were taught bad information in the first place. I think the problem is that there is no teaching going on in this space, at all. Some of the teachers I knew thought that this should be taught by parents at home! Of course, a lot of the parents didn’t know about these things either.

Kids don't come up with all the woke progressivism spontaneously. It's part of their mal-education.

I agree, but woke progressive/lefty/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderering is a different subject from financial awareness. Wokism is inculcated into the kids from their instructors, no doubt about it, but the instructors have been exposed to it throughout thier educations, including and especially college. They don’t get any financial awareness from any of those avenues.

Nope, a welfare PONZI SCHEME! It was foisted off on us when people hardly ever made it past 60 years-old. The qualifying age was 62 at the youngest. At that time they had statistics and longevity on thier side and the whole scheme was workable but the population started living longer. If they wanted to repair it they should have been raising the ages to keep up with the longevity, but being the state, they didn’t.

Yeah, that's the right one. It implies that the education is harmful, more so than just being wrong.

Yes, but they are not getting taught or trained in any of these personal finance topics, at all. That may be due to the ELites desiring the plebes not to know about finance, but they are still getting nothing, bubkus, nada or nanimonai. I know they give this basic personal finance information in Japanese high schools to everyone, even though the kids did a lot of goofing off in this class.
