Why doesn't your son find a way to finance his business venture himself? He can get the part time job. In your fifties if you do get an additional job, you should throw your addtl earnings into your retirement fund.

IF you're giving money to your adult some and hurting yourself financially then call a halt to that and worry about yourself first.  Do not get a second job if that's the reason.  Have you considered refinancing at a lower interest rate?  Good luck!

Other than offering moral support to your son I wouldn't give him any money, you have your own bills to pay and retirement to worry about. And yes, I would get a second job so you have a safety net of savings.

I agree with everyone else - good luck to you!

I agree.  At age 30 your son needs to figure out a way to take care of his finances that won't hurt you financially too.
