Job the Enabler

One of the saddest things I see in my financial practice is families that don't know how to say no to the kids, especially adult kids.  They enable them.

Job was a famous Biblical enabler.  Here is how Job enabled his kids.  Anyone remember who that worked out for him?

Job 1:4-5(NKJV)

4And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 

5So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed£ God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.
