You need to sit him down with pencil and paper and do the math. Maybe he needs to actually see the budget.
$25k per year income equates to about $12/hr. Probably about right for a job at a parts store. His wife's day care job probably pays about the same. All of this BEFORE TAXES!
Do the math, create a budget, and show him a realistic path to his goal.
I agree with this idea. All the talk in the world isn't as clear as showing the actual money he will have to spend.
For 2014/2015 the poverty level for a family of 4 is $23,850.
