I did. Grew up in worse conditions than these fellas. My mom was a literate person, however, and she read to us nightly when we were young. Even exhausted or via a Coleman lantern in the mobile home, that is, a canvas tent. All of her kids grew up to be or close to being, 1 %ers. If you want your kids to do the same, read to them at an early age, and read to them daily or more often.
Although my parents were less than ideal, they taught me to read, and to love books. I will always be grateful for that.
agreed, if reading books is normal to you, then you'll spend your whole life educating yourself by default
