Did you schools educate you on how the stock market works and how to invest? Also what age did you start. For me the answer is yes and I started at 15

Hell to the no. I went to school in California with tons of ESL kids. It was English/math non-stop all the way through school. Literally nothing else mattered. Absolutely no financial stuff whatsoever.

School is fucking obsolete. If you're not learning on your own time through the internet, you're going to get lapped by those that are

My school didn't. I learned about the stock market when I was 14 by playing GTA V and ever since then I have been interested. I grew up poor so I never had money to invest until I was 19. However, my school did have an accounting class and that was pretty fun since it was the only class I could talk finance to other students.

Not at all. School didn't teach anything. Barely taught how to calculate interest.

Didn't start investing until I was 27. Didn't really have cash to spare for investing until I realized how underpaid I was as an engineer, unless counting 401k match for a few years. Started way too late.
