My dad is pretty cool. He would make us figure out the compound interest of our money when we started jobs. When my siblings went into the Army he made sure each of them set up a RothIRA and had automatic payments put in the Max amount a year into it so all three of them had a good chunk of money invested by time they were 21.
Also both my parents were really open about money. We practiced math by helping balance their checkbook.
