Good question. I've always been financially aware, maths was always strong subject for me, so my brain would naturally figure out where value was, and from a young age, I was a good saver and wanted to grow my savings.
That began with 2 or 3% in notice deposit account at the bank, then starting a grass cutting business with my friend when we were around 13 around the neighbourhood..
After University once I started making a few quid, I read Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" which opened my eyes to investment opportunities and beating inflation and the risk and stupidity of leaving all your surplus in the bank.
I had Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chainlink and others before discovering Hive (Steemit at the time) It has been a fantastic discovery though and to answer your question since joining, I would say that my financial awareness probably has improved, but it was pretty good beforehand too to be fair.
