[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 680486, member: 15832"] Yes. We have no control. We are really getting on his case about this. So contrary to the way he was raised. We paid our credit cards off every month, and if we couldn't afford it, we didn't charge it. We worked hard and saved and invested our money (all those double shifts at the hospital and coupon clipping, etc.) We drove secondhand cars and were the last ones in the neighborhood to get cable TV, didn't have call waiting, etc. His sister did notice and she's very good at managing her money, but not him. He told me he put 500.00 on the CC balance and changed the Chase liquid account to a free checking account (didn't realize he could do this months ago). Told him to destroy the card, although I think he's going to keep it for emergencies. He said he hasn't used it in months. We haven't given him any cash except for Christmas gift, but we are still helping him with rent, which really makes us upset because we are helping paying his rent while he was being irresponsible.
