You can't. Asking advice often is like using google maps for navigation or using compass in sea.
You have to ask when it is necessary and not ask or listen when the advice is overkill or unnecessary.
The above will make one financially sound. I know, as I am financially sound as a pensioner. I have more assets than liabilities and an excellent credit rating. This is thanks to Leo Finance and other HIVE projects.
That's the most fundamental equation from Basic Accounting. I forgot much of what I learned in the one class I had to take in college long ago, but this equation I remembered.
Keep as much as possible of what you have, borrow as little as possible of what you don't have.
Along the way adjust spending habits so that more money is saved. For most people, this will make a massive difference.
I had two years of accounting in High School during my Junior and Senior years. My accounting teacher was Mr. Zukal who always wore a three piece suit in class. I believe he was a CPA.
On a side note; one of the many jobs I had after leaving the military was working through a temp service as a bookkeeper for Forsyth County in North Carolina. It was part-time.
Accounting is a useful discipline, and while not as difficult as derivative calculus it can still be mentally taxing due to keeping track of the paper trails that need to be in order to make sure there are no discepancies in the balance sheet or just informally keeping track of cash flow. My end-of-year project which should have lasted 2 or 3 hours took me 12 hours to complete because I had to backtrack to see where I lost a small amount of dollars.
It gives you freedom to do what you want rather than what you need

Couldn't agree more
Because the alternative is depending on someone else for advice and future direction which in today's age is not a good option.
But most of the people do go through online forums to know what should they do with their money, how can that be stopped

That's great to know.., though financially sound can also help people to differentiate between assets and liabilities.

When is becoming financially sound ever bad?

For most of the people, they don't even think about it.
Because you don't have to worry about your daily life. Of course I do hope that they are investing and growing their wealth through compound interest.

That's true, investing and creating wealth is one thing and thus not going into debt is other thing.
