My older brother is lazy and entitled and broke. Should I help him buy a house and car?

My older brother is lazy and entitled and broke. He refuses to get a proper job or take responsibility for his adult life. He claims he has a disability but he refuses to try to get disability payments. He’s argued with me many times and can’t see that he is to blame for his own situation. He wants me to look after him his whole life. If I ever have the money to buy him a house, should I? Do I have an obligation to help him even tho he refuses to take even small steps to help himself? What do you think? He refuses to take any steps to help himself. Should I help him? If I don’t he won’t have anywhere to live if I moved out

Yes you need to help him. He needs the help

No. He needs to see consequences of his actions

Absofuckinglutely NOT! Your older brother is LAZY, ENTITLED & BROKE & it’s time for him to put on his big boy boxers on & get his shit together & figure it out on his own.

I don’t want to. I can see what he’s trying to do. He is all like oh I’m sick I can’t do this oh I’m in pain etc. well - there’s disability services and payments. There’s services. I’m not his legal carer in any capacity. He keeps trying to force me to do it but I won’t.

He’s broke only because he does not try to help himself not because he is bankrupt if you know what I mean
