[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 576485, member: 1514"] This is one of those difficulties in life with our grown kids. Is he too disabled too work? It doesnt appear he is since he is working at his uncles firm. I think you should sit down with him and ask him if he wants you to teach him about budgeting or have someone else teach him but as of now he needs to create a budget and make sure that on each payday he gives you his rent. Then also make sure he understands how to pay each of his other bills so that he has what he needs. With his income would he qualify for food stamps or any other benefits? With him living there, you probably do need to see if he will let you help him set up his budget so he doesnt blow it all. Make sure he pays you his rent, gets his cable and internet installed and paid for, show him how much groceries should cost him for a week...then show him how much he will have left over each week. As far as the cigarettes...well, Im a smoker so I would be hard pressed not to buy him a pack. One thing you might want to consider getting is one of those electronic cigarettes that now come with the nicotine because then you can just have that on hand for when he runs out and you dont have to go buy packs. You can buy refills of the cartridges most places. They are actually cheaper than cartons now. [/QUOTE]
