perhaps you could advice your aunt to remind her son to provide for her... sometimes, young people don't realize this until they are told...

My aunt is a factory production worker and makes just enough money to keep the family afloat. Her husband has been out of work for 4 yrs now due to an injury, though previously he was an odd job worker.
My aunt laments to me that my cousin drives a car and yet does not contribute financially to the family.
This is not the first time I have heard of such stories from elderly people. Sigh... its probably a sign of the times. Everyman for himself while the responsibilities to take care of one's parents is cast aside in pursuit of materialism

Insurance Agents need to be seen as successful else they will not be respected by their clients. Therefore, things may not be what it looks like.
Take care,

If I can achieve that, then I would have succeeded at parenting
