[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 680192, member: 4152"] I would precede as you are doing. Explaining the evils of CC debt. Making him disclose and prove his financial standing if you are going to continue to support him in any way, shape or form (which will have to end!) Perhaps offer to pay half of his bus card for the next few months, but somehow pay it with him by your side. Collect $50 and you add your $50 and then m mediately pay. Consider offering him a little incentive...a dinner out when he zero balances his card. However, be careful he doesn't simply open another card. Also, you can make good use of his upcoming 30th birthday. Without being threatening or negative in any way, you can happily and excitingly say that it's a wonderful thing that he is turning thirty and this means he is a man and you know that he is ready and will want to take care of his responsibilities like paying for his bus card in full. (I don't know his abilities or situation...maybe at age thirty hopefully he can assume his responsibilities in full or just do much more than he is doing currently...but he likely can step up further and this would be a great thing for both of you) [/QUOTE]
