I would appreciate some "kind" feedback... not that I would get any other kind
I have one child and only one so I just get to "practice" on him poor son.. and I love my son very much.
He is 22years old, and has ADHD. He is a responsible, dependable, creative.. well I could go on .. I am his Mom.
I was also divorsed since he was a baby so I have been a mom/dad type to him.
Handling his money is just a bear. He works very hard at his job, continues to get raises and such.. but his money goes right thru his fingers..
And then he shows up on my doorstep... I have helped, I mean seriously helped.. thousands helped over the past 4 years... he also had his college fund - he opted out of college.
So having difficulty handling budgets a 22 year old male thing, a 22 year old thing, a personal thing, a adhd thing?
From my own past, I don't have a basis of comparision. Hence my asking.
He moved back out in Jan (he had been in then out) of my house.
I live on a very limited income and really cannot keep affording to give him money, not if I want to accomplist my goals... (I pay his 60 insurance).
He makes about 1800 - 2000 take home with about 1200 expences every month.
I have gone thru with him how to budget... I just am unsure if I am falling down I my parental part here...
I have heard of some parents taking over their 22 years money for 6 monhs - sitting down every week to go over it.. until they truly get the hang of it..
Yazaa... not something I want to do...
grrrrr. any ideas on what is best?
