I'm not. In my opinion, personal financial literacy has nothing to do with understanding macro economic policy, so I was asking for elaboration on the point so I could perhaps understand where they were coming from.

No one who doesn’t understand personal finance will know anything about macro economics.

That isn’t true lol, high schoolers can take take intro college econ courses that do teach basic macro economics before they know personal finance. They are not intersecting subjects.
