[quote=Anonymous]Can you give him a real or fake budget to plan a vacation and see what he comes up with.

What about budgeting and finances? Checking account might be a good thing to get. You can start including him in family budget/finance discussions even if he’s only observing he’s sure to learn something if you do this regularly. Check library for kids finance books.

As PP suggested maybe introduce him to the stock market. Can you give him a couple hundred bucks and let him learn about and choose some investment options?

What about numismatics. Usmint has some kids kits to learn about collecting, and mint sets are fairly inexpensive if you’re looking for a Christmas present. Can take to coin shows or auctions to expand this interest along with magazines, books, videos. auctionzip for auctions in your area.

If he’s into the fancy hotels maybe he’d like design. Take him to a design showroom and see if that piques his interest. Take him to a fancy hotel lobby and see what exactly interests him.

I agree you need to teach social skills around bragging and not talking about money, or when you can talk about money and those nuances. I would also channel this interest into an opportunity to teach a life skill or pick up a new hobby.[/quote]
