I think complete honesty with him would work the best. If it were one of my brothers, I'd want to help and would help, but I'd express they obvious issues with budgeting. My help would be contingent on examining and resolving budget issues. Obviously there's an issue and for his sake it'd be worth getting to the bottom of. He might be offended, but if you state that there's an obvious budget issue there's no need for hurt feelings. My aunt's second husband has a problem with gambling. My grandmother had given them two different homes she owned and they lost them both in under a year (separated by 10 years). Looking back, that certainly would have been the way to handle it. In our church, that's how we approach requests for monetary help. You get to care for the person but also be responsible for the money we're entrusted with.
