<prompt> Human: I just have to ask because it seems like there are a lot of somewhat basic questions here, which should or could be answered by parents. Did you parents teach you about finances? Were there any good lessons? If so, what resources did they offergive that you can share? Books, websites, etc.In my case, my parents literally taught me nothing about finances. Looking back I dont understand why not. They were upper-middle class, making good money, college educated, my mom was a Realtor and my dad was a fund raiser for a major institution. How could they not teach me anything about money when they worked with it every day? EDIT: Added bold.  <response>: Theres selection bias at work as well. People come here to ask questions because they want to learn.
