Re: Surviving on low income
U are very right. Just speak to him about at least having enough money to pay the rent. I’m sure as you mentioned you have seen your parents be on the giving end and now having to ask people for rent money really hurts you. As is right.
Therefore, how about set aside money for the rent at the beginning of month, then let him do what he wants with the rest. Give it to mom or whatever. That will force people to be more responsible. And tell him no matter what you don’t want him begging people for a loan because you respect him too much. Beyond that say he is free to do anything he wants with his earnings.
