If the vast majority of people don't answer "my parents", then there is a serious lack of self-awareness in this thread.
For me:
Parents, church, friends, a strong belief that money isn't the most important thing in life, constitutional/legal study, a pretty good BS detector.

I guess I could blame my parents, as they are both hardcore HillaryCare democrats and I hated that hippie bs my whole life as a child.
To quote an Everclear song that had an effect on me:

I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of a welfare christmas

My parents were poor and proud of it, I was a product of government entitlement programs. I always felt a sense of shame growing up because of that. The free lunches, etc.
