That is why, it is also a privilege when kids have guardians that are being taught on how to be financially well and be good at managing their finances. And those people that have grown without such but still managed to be good with their finances, you're all legends and you've come a long way for sure and learned a lot of it from your experienes. Also, the kind of old life that you've got is one big factor as to why you have been self taught on how to be financially educated. Because going back to the former life without good finances is what we are trying to avoid.
Indeed, there was no one to teach me even the slightest bit of financial literacy. I came to this conclusion myself. How did it happen? It's all very simple. I was tired of living in poverty and misery. I started looking at people who had amassed large capital. As a result, I came to the conclusion that money should not only be saved, but also invested in order to make a profit. This is the only option that works for me. Of course, I can start my own business, but I don't want that. I need mobility, which allows free movement and is not tied to a specific place.
However, a strong motivation to get out of poverty is not enough. You need to know how to get out and how to develop yourself in order to have a chance to become a wealthy person in the future. And if at this moment no one tells you what to read and what people to listen to, then everything will end without result. Such knowledge spreads from person to person very quickly due to advice. It was my friends who advised me to read Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and it was the same friends who advised me this forum. Without them, I would be just a guy who wants to change his life. But does not know how.
