my parents never invested anything (all their money in savings or cd's so that the bank made $$ of theirs and they actually lost due to inflation over time), nor taught me anything about it either. I made more the first 12 months than they did in their life, in their bank accounts and they never made much working either, as they were both teachers. I want my $$ making more for me, not someone else.
