I don't think my grandfather ever sat down and necessarily taught me financial things. It's just he was always open about his mindset. He didn't just use credit to buy things because he wanted it right now, he thought about it first and tried to be smart. It was like actually living the example versus preaching the example and then doing something else. If you ask me kids can pick up on that kind of stuff.

I think the taxes thing I learned in a class that was required to go to work some times in lieu of school. I left after lunch every day my last two years of high school. I worked in a warehouse. Sounds awful, but a high school kid that gets to go to school less, have every evening and weekend off, and get a consistent hundred bucks a week is a happy high school kid.
