As many of you realize my oldest is still living at home. I am not happy about that. Over the years I have wanted to push him harder to get out but Tony has always felt he was the most "disabled" of our bunch. Exactly why I dont quite understand. I think he feels somewhat guilty that we didnt pick up on Billy's disabilities earlier and get him help. Well water under the bridge now.
We tried desperately and Billy has gone to community college twice and has one AA degree in computer networking and a certificate in HVAC. That one was a waste of time. It appears they both were actually except he can say he has an associates degree.
He has now worked at Radio Shack for 5 years now. He is 31, almost 32. He has got to move out of my house. At this point all he is doing is paying $150 a month towards the electric bill and thats it. He barely helps out at the house because he is either at work or if he has a few days off he goes down to see his girlfriend. Now that he had the car accident, he uses that as an excuse as a reason he cant help out. He is hurting. Oh please.
From what his lawyer is saying he is going to get a nice tidy little sum of money out of this accident. Now Im not talking tens of thousands but he is probably going to get around 5K or so and that is after the lawyer is paid and after he gets his car. This doesnt have anything to do with the car money. That is separate. I want to tell him he has to take that 5k and get him a place to live. He needs to get a rental. Problem is he thinks people should only buy. BS. He doesnt have a job that supports buying. I know that if we tell him this he is going to freak. He will have his car payment, car insurance, a couple of credit card payments, and then rent plus his food. And trust me he eats. In reality his payment on the electric bill is far outweighed by what we end up spending just on take out food alone for him every month not to mention the extra food we buy in groceries. We buy take out once a week from a chinese restaurant and we get him a plate every week. If we got anywhere else we always bring him home something. He has decided he is allergic to cheese now so we have to alter some of our meals to suit his new diet. We have finally given this one up and just told him when we are having cheese so he can get himself something on the way home.
His plans for the money were to pay off some of his credit cards but I think he needs to move out of here. He just cant keep living here. He should also be getting his taxes back around the same time I think.
Oh gosh I hope I can do this and he can go somewhere. I just dont know where he will go really.
