I've got one of those for a neighbor. He's lived with his mom, and apparently only works part time occasionally, from what his mom tells me. I've met him down at the Sport book near my home a few times and talked to him. I've tried to like the guy, as he's a fellow gambler, but I've gradually started to despise him: He told me he helps himself to his mothers money in her bank account. Also, he boasted to me about losing over $300K over the past 20 years.
Though his Mom is aged and disabled, he doesn't seem to help her around the house all that much. His mom's
asked me to help move some boxes in the garage, etc. a few times, and she cooks and cleans for him. Her attitude to me is, what can I do with him?
The sad fact is, he's gone thru most of his Mom's savings. And, the home is reverse, mortgaged, which is where most of the money came from. His Mom confided to me that when she goes, he won't have a place to live, kind of suggesting to me that maybe I can rent him one of my rooms once the Mortgage company takes the house from him.
You know what, I am grateful Dad kicked me out of the house when I turned 20.
