Nah, in general, people are idiots when it comes to money, at least when it comes down to making it work for you instead of you working for it. I count myself fortunate that modern technology has allowed us that get it and those who want to get it to gather together and discuss it without all the usual social implications.
I have trimmed most of my money conversations down to the following:
Be sure to utilize retirement accounts as able
Invest in target retirement funds (Vanguard is a good option).
Don't buy stupid stuff.
From there I might inject little tips for specific things they may be doing (financing a house/car, taxes, etc). Usually setting them up with questions for their CPA, banker, or, gasp, "advisor". If someone seems to have promise or asks how I did it (haven't yet) I might refer them to the MMM blog or go deeper into it, but I know I might get met with doubt, fear, and/or even complete bewilderment.
To really give solid, accurate advice, you need as much information as what is contained in a case study, or what many people would equate to a financial colonoscopy, which is probably the main reason why I have shied away from discussing the matter. I do have to fight the desire though, especially since I am in a particularly exciting stage in the journey, but also because some people find it taboo, and/or I may be taken as bragging.
I'm not a Suze Orman fan, but one thing I think she gets right is the way she describes people's "relationship" with money, because just like many relationships, it is deeply intertwined with peoples perceptions, behaviors, and emotions, things that are very difficult to change.
Flipping the "frugal switch" is darn near impossible for some people, they will never get it.
If you do get into examples, you can use more vague terms to allow people to frame it within their own contexts. For example you can reduce your stache requirement by 10% if you reduce your spending by 10%.
And remember, you don't really have to talk about it at all.
