Asking Eric: Teaching kids investment is important, but they need to walk, before they can run

Dear Eric: A letter on March 2 was written by someone named “Invested Time.” They seemed frustrated that their 21- and 17-year-old nephews were not sufficiently involved or interested in learning about financial planning and investing, despite what are clearly some very generous financial gifts given to each of them. The writers were so disappointed, they were reconsidering their decision to provide for them in their wills.
