<prompt> Human: Hes 25 and not very motivated. He lives with his parents and owes them 8K. They want him to stay employed and move out, so they will wait to be repaid. But he finally got a job that he seems a little more motivated to keep. It pays 13hr, which isnt bad for him, with health care which is becoming very important at his age. Hell take home 900two weeks.I made the following offer to him, although it can be changed:He texts me a photo of his pay stub every two weeks and Ill put that much money in his bank acct. My name goes on the acct, and he wont take money out without my knowledge. He adds to the acct also every pay period amount to be determined. Weve agreed that his goals are to establish an emergency fund, then buy a cheap car 4K?, then look for housing probably sharing with friends for 500mo.If he loses the job, I stop contributing. I told him to think of it as making 26hr. I think that is a pretty good motivation to set the alarm and get his butt to work.This is a throw away Reddit acct. I can easily afford this, and most of my estate will be split among my 6 nieces and nephews anyway. Im thinking of ways to start gifting the others money, so all will be treated equally. The only difference is that one nephews gift might come earlier, and it will have conditions, as described above. If this experiment fails, I wont miss the money, but Ill be disappointed. My goal is to help him become a productive member of the family and to give him a chance going forward.  <response>: Obviously you need to do what you think is best, but I have to say I think this kid needs tough love not gifts. He needs to be forced to keep a job to survive and not be homeless. Just my 2 cents.
