Warning: this is just me venting my fustrations about my brother's problems. Skip this if you'd like or you can read my summary at the bottom. +rep if you've read this or can help

Story:

So my oldest brother is 22 and still a freshman in college. When he graduated high school he jumped right into college while working at a bank and working as a contractor for a house builder cleaning houses. He was doing really good balancing the 2 jobs and part time school. The cleaning house business (which i worked under him) involves filling out invoices and when they send you the checks tax is not deducted so the logical thing to do is to calculate the tax and set that money aside for when the IRS comes knocking. Well about 6 months into the business he stops paying me and I confront him about it (mind you that I'm 14 at the time and my brother is my boss) and he say's that he's holding the money for me so when I turn 18 I will get a big chunk of money for college. i know it's bullshit but I go along with it cause a) he's my brother b)I was making $250 a week and pretending to be a balla I was eventually gonna spend all my money anyways.

So a year pass's he gets really burnt out from working 60-70 hours a week balancing a job and school and he decides to take a break from it all. Now the bank job was a steady income of about $8 an hour and getting him an extra $150 a week on top of making $900 a week from the cleaning houses business. We get paid $25 a house and we have about 25 (3-4000 sq foot houses) that we clean twice a week. The neighborhood is about to close (meaning all houses are sold and we're about to be out of a job) and the bank decides to give him a shitty 25 cent raise. He decides to quit the banking job after they give him his $500 bonus for the year and basically leaves a fuck you and your company on his evaluation of the company. So in my brother's mind everything's going scheduled to plan as he's finally getting to take a break from working 70 hours a week for a full year. He ends up taking 2 months off and lives off of the money he's saved up.

May rolls around and the IRS comes knocking on his door asking for $10,000 in unpaid taxes. Turns out he spent that money on clothes, alcohol, and just plain bullshitting like any 19 year old making $50,000 a year would. He begins looking for a job but the only experience he has is at subway (making $6) and a bank (which he fucked up when he quit). Months roll by before his girlfriend offers him a job at her families restaurant. He's a waiter making $500 a week working 7 days a week (he stopped going to school) and his girlfriend is making the same amount. She wants to be a good girlfriend and decides to help him pay his IRS bills along with $10,000 that he owes on his car.

It takes him a year with his girlfriend to pay off his $10,000 debt to the IRS and $10,000 for his car and they're free of debt but at this time things are going downhill in the relationship. My brother is proud of himself of paying off his debt and decides to go shopping. He buys a tv, ps3, and a bunch of clothes. Turns out he's spent $5000 on it all on his credit card. He's in debt again and him and his girlfriend again pay's it off in a few months. His girlfriends tired of this shit and is about to call it quits but my brother tries to rekindle the relationship my taking her shopping. Turns out he's spent $3000 on clothes, some electronics, and bullshit on her to make her happy with him (and to cancel his debt to her). Things go sour in a few weeks and they're broken up for good. He's left holding $3000 debt on his credit card and his girlfriend fire's him from her family's restaurant.

He's jobless with $3000 debt and starts bumming family members for money or a job. A few family members help him out and lend him some money and a few jobs to pay off his debt. As soon as he's paid off his debt he quit's his job that my uncle had to pull strings to get him. Then he decides to give his car to the second oldest brother for free (in hopes that when my brother becomes a doctor he will repay him handsomely). They agree to switch cars but my brother starts to bum my brother for money. Mind you that if he holds his end of the bargin that $20,000 car he gave my brother could turn out to be a $40,000 scape goat for him in his future. My brother doesn't care and starts asking for $1000 here and $1000 there which my brother doesn't have to give but he does anyways. My brother (the deadbeat) decides he's tired of working again and takes the summer of 08' off with no money saved up. Turns out he's gonna use his credit card like it's a savings account. Summer ends and he's got a $2000 debt from the summer. He finds himself a waiter job at a sushi restaurant a few months later making about $300 a week.

Throughout all of this he has burnt bridges with 1 uncle, my mom and dad, my brother (who switched cars with him), a friend of mines who he borrowed a few grand from, and me who he owes $2000 from 4 years back when we were cleaning houses. Yesterday he asked to borrow 2 bills for his credit card payment and against my better judgment I decide to help him out. In doing so I write him a letter telling him everything I basically just wrote and I tell him he's becoming a deadbeat to me and I don't like to be around those kind of people and if he doesn't shape up and get his shit together I will be forced to cut him out of my life like I've done with my infant neglecting/drug abusing aunt (who he despises as well). He tells me he's trying to better his life and get out of this shit whole. He tells me he wants to move out of town because there is too many distractions and he wants to become a better person. I honestly want to believe him, but there is a side of me that is just waiting for him to fuck up so I can cut him out of my life.

In the greater scale of things he's actually not that bad. He's not a drug abuser, he's not an alcoholic or a criminal. He's just another kid trying to find his way in life. If anything he's a compulsive shopper or addicted to debt but I was raised to believe that if you fuck up too many times it's time to cut the cord on that person. I mean he still owes me $2000 which I do need to help me get to school in NYC. I told him if he doesn't pay me at least $1500 by January (the time I plan to leave) then he's as good as dead to me. $2000 is not that hard to come up with especially since he's borrow money from my brother (who switched cars with him and now he feels compelled to give the bumming brother money) but as I've stated there is that part to me that want's him to fail so I have good reason to cut him out of my life.

Let me sum up this whole rant:

-made $50,000 when he was 19

-owed the IRS $10,000________girlfriend paid half of the debt

-owed $10,000 on car_________girlfriend paid half of the debt

-owed $5,000 on credit card____girlfriend paid half of the debt

-owed $3,000 on credit card

-owed $2,000 on credit card

-gave away a $20,000 car for free

-burnt bridges with all helpful family members and friends

-still a freshman in college

-doesn't have any idea what he wants to do in life

-owes me $2,000

My girlfriend moved away to New York last month and I hardly hear from her…every other day I'll get some updates, but she sounds completely detached from me and doesn't sound like she could give two shits if I got hit by a car and died like those Red Asphalt videos they show you in driving school.

Every time I try to tell her I miss her via text or anything, I never get a reply. It's depressing enough that I've moved back from school and I pretty much have nothing going on except for projects that won't pay out til a lot later.

It's bullshit. Fuck my life.

Why does he owe 10 grand on 50 grand?

Writing a letter to your brother seems sort of passive agressive. You should man up and speak to him to his face. If anything, the impact (on him) would be deeper felt.

he was averaging $1000 a week without taxes. and the IRS said $10 grand was his total in a given time frame including interest. basically it's a set regiment if how much to pay a month for how long.

the contractor job with cleaning houses did not deduct that taxes out of his paycheck and he was to pay it when tax season came around. he decide to spend it on meaningless bullshit.

I've tried to talk to him on dozens of occasions but he zones out or brushes me off. writing a letter leaves him to actually soak in the information and remember it all. he's always been the joker/screw up of the family.

and ebnoob:

credit card companies love him. he does the minimum and the interest increases. he's fucked up his credit by now but they send him credit card applications in the mail every other month

You should leave this post open on your desktop for her to conviently find next time she's over at your place.

She'll be like ahhhhhhh

And you'll be like *smile*

The sun will shine through your window seperating the two of you.

You'll step into the light

She'll step into the light

You'll embrace

You'll kiss

A dove will flutter by.
