<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Future brother in law is 32 years old and has very little motivation in life. He lives in his parents basement and has a dead end job making barely over minimum wage. He has some bad habits (drinking, smoking, and weed). He also does not have any formal education aside from a high school diploma over 10 years ago. He does not have a driver's license either, and not even a driver's permit.

Since I've known him I have offered to help him get a job with the companies I've worked for making more money than he is making now. He always makes excuses. He always talks about getting his learner's permit but never takes the test. When ever I bring it up he say's he will study for the test when he has time. But again, it is another excuse. In fact, I sent him a link to a website which has basically the same questions that would appear on the learner's permit exam, but he has not even opened the link.

His parent's have given up on him and basically do not even bother. He basically comes upstairs to eat dinner, and then goes back in the basement. His work is pretty cyclical too, so sometimes (like over the holidays) there will be periods of weeks where he does not work and is home all day doing nothing. His parents have offered to pay his schooling or a trade. His dad works for the city and could get him a decent paying union job pretty easily, but he has no motivation to apply.

His younger brother got married and moved out last year. Now his sister and I just got a place so I think he is getting even more depressed and less motivated. He came over to our place for the first time this weekend with his parents and he was pretty quiet the whole time.

He is a nice guy and I want him to do better for himself. His parents are nearing retirement age as well so I'd like for him to be more self sufficient. Any advice or thoughts?
