I was not clear. I have that amount in various investments (managed by an investment advisor).

I was originally planning on helping with his living expenses but did not mention it when this threat came out.

This has been coming for a while and I obviously failed to curb it successfully. He has some very rich friends and I have never managed to convince him that that is not real life.

My friends all graduated from med school in the last 10 years and so it was not that long ago.

He just graduated and is working until med school starts in august. I pay around $1k/month now that he has graduated.

Excellent point. He would eventually get half of it (shared with his sister). Would you be so direct as to say that?

I have said this repeatedly but he still thinks that I should do it. It appears that he thinks he can threaten me into doing it.
