My answer is if you add up all the time not working then taking a job making only $$ you would still be making more money!! He would rather just sit around watching TV and drinking all day.
mine does the same thing..... but in his case, he's scared to death of change....(which may be another reason for not quitting the drinking)...... i think he's scared that nobody will hire him at his age too.... which is reality for most of us over 50...... mine is still collecting unemployment but once unemployment runs out i will be scared myself.....
