Our fourteen year old son Zachary loves reading about business, real estate, stocks and finances. In fact, he has a "virtual portfolio" with "real time" stock purchases. I cannot think of the site he's on but they give new members a few thousand virtual dollars to invest in stocks--he made thousands in virtual profits. He even took what he learned there and purchased a stock on his own--and, he lost some money when his gold stock tanked but not all of it, thank goodness. :-)
Below are a few books that he read over about a one month period and that he still talks about --he's retained every ounce of knowledge learned from these books. There were days that he'd be in his room or on the back porch reading for eight hours or more, unless he went to a friends or took a break, and some of those days we barely saw him unless he was eating or popped out to say, "Hi." LOL

He loves discussing everything he's learned, as well as what he agrees and disagrees with--some of which is over my head but not my husbands. All of those books led him to follow the bailout hearings on CSPAN with the big three car manufacturer's--I NEVER watch CSPAN as an adult and never would have done so as a kid.
Although he hasn't read a financial book in awhile, he still frequents financial websites and continues to learn. I forgot to mention that he wants to have some responsibility when it comes to doing the family bills--which is perfectly fine with us as it will help him see where the money goes each week. :-)
