[QUOTE="losinghope281, post: 731217, member: 22978"] Tired Mama, Thank you for your advice! The issue with letting his credit crash is that it will continue to accumulate interest, and could put us in a potentially bad situation. But I do agree with you that he can do much more than he is letting on and should take responsibility for his actions. I've been trying to teach him common sense and what is right and wrong and responsibility. I just can't comprehend how he can't understand how he's spending so MUCH money without having the means to pay it off. It's not I know I can do better, and this is a terrible excuse, but I am very busy myself. I work for a public accounting firm and work a lot of hours and in the process of studying for the CPA exam. But as of today, I put my foot down and told him that he is going to pay it back. His means of income is selling items on Ebay and any money that my parents may give him, a portion is going to pay off his debt. This time I'm not letting him off the hook. I am going to dedicate a portion of my time to help him get his computer certification to get him on track. Thank you again Tired Mama for your words, it means a lot to me to get someone else's perspective. Best Regards, R [/QUOTE]
