Thanks to everyone still around for the advice - it worked out.
Just out of curiosity, were you going to get him a new 2008 BMW back when you made that June 2008 post?

I had been thinking more along the lines of something like a Toyota Corolla! Crazy to think how long ago that was... Damn, I'm getting old.

So he has been out of a job for several years and has worked on and off for a contract job. Seems to me he needs to make wiser decisions in life when it comes to money and job allocation. I would advice a heart to heart conversation with him for the encouragement of going back to school and choosing a different career in life. I know several people that choose a career in nursing in their forties and fifties.
