So about 6 months ago My roommates and I started to house this 19 year old who had nowhere to live and no money. He sleeps on the floor in the living room behind a Big screen old 50" CRT that is converted into a Bar. He went jobless for around 3 months then finally got a job at WinCo (costco but only with food) pushing carts. After 2 months he was fired for showing up late to much. He showed up to his shift late 5 times in 60 days only working 30hr/wk.
The bad part is his job didnt start till Noon and it is a 15 minute bike ride away as he has no car. After that he claims he lost his last 400 dollar paycheck then left to a different town out of the blue for 10 days and hung out with "Friends". He then showed back up claims that he still never found the 400 dollars and that it must have been stolen at one of the parties we had as he left 400 in cash laying inside the Bar full of his stuff. So we let him back in but on very harsh rules of cant be home unless we are home (not often as we all go to school two grad students that are deep in projects on campus, me a normal student + work, and another who works 12-10.), no tv, no computer, etc etc...
So he finds another Job about 2 weeks ago and it is pumping gas at an Arco. He then "got hit by a car" is what he says but from what we can tell he ran into a car. Had to go to the doc and missed some work and his boss then cut his hours. A week later his boss was only giving him 10hr/wk. He went back this week to get paid and still only 10hr/wk when his boss told him he would get 30-40hr/wk when he was hired. So he tells his boss "More hours or I quit!" Boss said ok quit. So he did.
Now here he is again with 400 dollars in savings (what we have of his paychecks that he has given us to hold for him) no job and hasnt paid for anything for 6 months. Do we kick him out and let him live in a shelter to kinda understand that this is what happens when you F up after F up and nothing in life is free? Kinda stuck on this situation as I dont wanna kick some 19 year idiot into the streets as he has had a hard life (foster parents and all cus he was a child of the state) but nothing seems to get to this kid. Any ideas or thoughts from the gallery or anyone who has dealt with this would be helpful.
