Yes, my parents taught me. It was an informal instruction. I obcerved how my parents thought about making purchases, and they did the exercise with me also when I wanted to buy something. I knew they always paid their credit cards in full. I knew they saved all of the time. I knew they were future oriented when it cam to money. I knew they did not really save for a particular thing, but rather saved all of the time, and then made purchases that seemed right and a good value at the time it was needed. My dad told me many times, money gives you autonomy, independence and freedom. There was never a focus on the things, but rather the security and the power over ones life financial indepence brings. When I used to say I am going to marry someone rich, my dad said, I should do what it takes to make my own wealth.
I had a savings account since first grade (actually the school opens it for you). Any time I ever received money as a gift, I put it in my savings. I saw the interest add up also.
My parents were not allowance people, but when I was in 7th or 8th grade, not sure which, I asked my dad for an allowance. He let me decide how much, and I bought everything I needed with it. That lasted about 6 months I think? Not sure what ended the experiment?
I was allowed to work when I was 14. I had full control over what I wanted to do with the money.
Classes in school taught me about earning compound interest and how money gets money. Classes also taught me paying interest is like throwing money on the street.
