[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 756375, member: 21066"] He's thirty-one, so it might be another decade or two. I say that because there are so many people in our extended family who didn't see the need to work until age fifty. It's hard to understand. There are people who mature very late in life. Trying to explain to quite a few of our relatives that they have to pay the electric bill before they can go to an NFL gane is useless. They just don't have the maturity to comprehend that they cannot succeed in life unless they live a conventional lifestyle, such as working full time, getting job training, being on a budget, etc. They have no desire to live a conventional lifestyle. One of my relatives has a thirteen year old mentality. There is always money for the cable bill, bars, and vaping, but not for a car payment. He has to be the center of attention all the time and pitches fits like a hormonal teenager. He pesters the whole family for money. He's almost sixty. Then, we have the forty year old who has only worked for about 15 months. His grandmother supported him. If she was still around, I seriously doubt he would be working. His dad retired in his early thirties and didn't come out of retirement until age fifty. Now, he's retired again. His parents and wife supported him for decades. In another state: Imagine being 20 and having no goals in life except breaking into houses. No desire to finish high school. [/QUOTE]
