He spent it on gorging himself on fried chicken delivery and electronics he piles around his horde room. His parents have to manage him to keep him from suicide. It's not a funny situation.

As tactless as it is: that is amusing.
I have been in similar places, even the whole “stronger than the disorder, I don't need to take my meds.”
There’s a way out if he wants to get out. But many times the will is weak: toxic shame for one’s actions in less rational times; a crippling lack of meaningful and intimate relationships; and a life devoid of any pleasure as you slink into self-induced hermitage.
My unasked for recommendation? If I were interested in his recovery I would throw a CPTSD skills book (BPD can be caused by and reinforce chronic trauma) and a box of nicotine gum his way (the gum will numb him out enough to start thinking clearly).
Nonetheless, it’s still an amusing story that has given me the giddies.
Money should only be spent reasonably. That is, put into a retirement fund, into savings, and other well-regarded things. Your life must be lived reasonably -- else we will tell you otherwise!
I.e. many other people only see one "good" way to live a life; only one "good" form of morality; only one "good" mindset.
And as much as I've enjoyed the originality of your posts, may I recommend ceasing? Share these morsels of a not-yet-snuffed-out humanity with your intimates, rather than strangers who don't care about the consequences of their words on others?
