If Matt's mother (I understand this to be your deceased sister) left Matt money in an inheritance, trust, life insurance policy, WHATEVER, isn't that Matt's money? The impression I got is that Matt has to beg for it to be doled out in increments, but that it is indeed HIS money he's spending, and not his father/grandfather's (he's just holding it in trust for him until he comes of age -- at WHAT age???). Also, it was intimated by Matt that the father/grandfather also gives you and your siblings money or "financial help"; I hope it's not the money Matt's mother left for him? Your objection to his getting it was that it was meant to be for his education, but maybe Matt doesn't want to go to college. Even if he wants to just blow it on cars and beer, it's HIS money to blow. Likewise the brother who's paying $400 in rent for nothing but a room in a house with a family; if he's paying rent, that's not "mooching." Seems some people have control, greed, or jealousy issues vs. any sincere concern.
For the record, Matt's mom is still alive. The money was an insurance policy on my mother ( my father was the benificiary) that was to be used for Matt if he wanted to go to school or when he got married. It was NOT to be used for daily living since he is old enough to support himself. My parent's did help all of us kids when it came to school and first houses, etc. They did not, nor are they now supporting us in our daily living. Why should this money be used for Matt to party on and waste? Why not just burn it? When does the supporting end, when the money runs out? If Matt doesn't want to go to college that is fine but the least thing he could do is get a job. I liked you comment about blowing his money on beer and cars, so can I give him your number to call when the money is gone and there is no one to give him money anymore?
