My friend and his family are from Kenia, Africa. He moved to France years ago to study and work. He's been doing ok so far, but the company he works had to reduce staff working hours, as they were about to close down due the crisis. My friend is now making less money and his bills are higher. He can't almost save nothing from his salary.
On the other hand, his brother is very well in the U.K. He has his won business and makes a lot of money. He spends a lot in expensive cars, trips, etc. my friend had asked his brother to help, but the brother refused to help.
My friend's brother flies their parents to visit him once every 3 months, and because he is too busy to spend time with them, my friend has to ask for unpaid vacation in order to be there and assist them. He usually goes for like 2-3 weeks. Because his brother pays the tickets for their parents, my friend has to pay for their cost of food, gas, etc. they stay at his brother's house. Every time he spends all his little savings on them.
He's also been having relationship problems. His partner lost her job, and although she's been trying hard, she can't find a new one. Their started arguing because she has no more money and he's putting a lot of pressure on her. Now finally she found a very good offer but it is in Mexico. It seems like her ex husband opened a business and have asked her to work for him.
My friend asked for advise, but I don't know what to say.
