Tariq Nasheed and Vlad delved into whether financial literacy education should be mandatory for those receiving reparations. Vlad emphasized the necessity of understanding money management, sharing his personal struggle with going broke despite early financial success. He argued that without financial literacy, recipients might squander reparation funds, as seen with many lottery winners and pandemic aid beneficiaries who mismanaged sudden financial windfalls.

Tariq Nasheed acknowledged the importance of money management but countered that financial classes shouldn't be a prerequisite unique to Black Americans. He highlighted historical examples of Black communities thriving economically, such as Black Wall Street, and emphasized the community's inherent ingenuity. Nasheed argued that any potential misuse of money would still positively impact the broader economy. Ultimately, Vlad hoped for financial literacy requirements, while Nasheed believed in the autonomy of recipients to decide their financial choices.
