<prompt> Human: I dont know where to post this really but I need some advice on this. I have a friend Ive known since 2004. We both graduated from a college prep high school in 2008. He only went to college for I think 2 trimesters or maybe a year at an out of state university. He quit, moved back home with his parents, and started working 3rd shift part time only for UPS. After union fees and taxes he makes about 150 a week. He has bought 2 older BMWs, both were money pits with money he didnt have to spend and both have long since broken down and were gotten rid of. He hasnt had a car for over a year, borrowing his moms car to get to work and go out and buy weed.He spends most of his little paycheck the second he gets it. Hasnt ever moved out of his parents house, hasnt left his part time 3rd shift job for about 6 years. His passion in high school was computer games and he has been wanting to build a new rig for forever. My friends set him up with a cheap price point and gave him goals financially. Right when he had enough saved up, he stopped talking about buying one, bought more weed constantly, and I havent heard another word about it.I came to post this today because earlier this year my friends and I barely talked him out of spending 1000 on ANOTHER older BMW. This one wasnt even running to start with. He wasnt able to save 500 over 2 months to buy a computer like he desperately wanted, so there was no way he could afford twice that for a car that isnt even running.Today I found out he bought that car. I feel furious that he did this after all we have tried helping him: trying to get him jobs other places, trying to get him to save even the slightest amount of money, trying to get him to at least go back to school here in town since his work would cover some of his tuition, but we have had 0 luck.How can I help him? I feel like I have tried everything and I desperately want him to get his life on track but it seems nothing works.I rarely ever post in reddit, but today I felt the need to consult you on this matter.What can I do? Aside from just give up on him.  <response>: You dont.
