It's definitely a good idea to build some financial sense from young age, helping kids figure out how budgeting works, where the money gets spent, how it all works, etc. It also works if they are able to learn why someone pays you that money in the first place - how a business makes profit because of your work, which justifies the salary (or some other value gained if it's a non-profit organisation). Finally it also makes sense to let them understand money as a means of exchanging value, rather than some magical paper that just helps buy stuff.
The earlier they learn about stuff like interest rates, debt, investments, etc. the better prepared they are to take on their life.
However, just telling kids that "hey kids, I make $xxxx" and doing nothing after that is never a great idea!
