<prompt> Human: I completely agree with the stance in this article that financial education should be taught in school as well as at home:Im curious, how did the Redditors on this sub come to learn or take an interest in money-related topics. Were you forced to learn by way of mistakes, did someone teach you, or did you take an interest and pick it up on your own?Edit: Sure, I guess the views about blaming others for not teaching you and the view that all 1 kids get taught finance and this is why they remain in the 1 is a little polarizing. I still agree with the buried point that finance should be taught in school from a YOUNG age... not just high school.  <response>: Seems kinda whiney... just complaining because no one taught them. You dont have to be part of the 1 to teach your kids about that stuff. I tell my friends all the time what to do to save up and invest and all that happens is that the go buy and iphone or some CC debt lol. Most people are unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices to join the 1 and thats why they are not in it. I dont blame them... Saving sucks... no new phone every year, no going out non stop, blah blah blah. But in the long run it pays off big time. Heres a surprise read: not actually a surprise: 60-70 of NFL players played pop-warner football at an early age.I am going out on a limb and saying that of the kids that play little league somewhere around 1 of them make it to the NFL, NBA, etc. The fact that most played young doesnt mean anything. Being taught finance at a young age doesnt mean anything if you dont apply it. Stop blaming the 1 and spend that time learning what you can do to join.
