There is a very useful form available on the church website: the Self-Reliance Plan. It can be downloaded and printed and could be used by anyone helping others to navigate budget questions.

If your father is spending his money on luxury purchases, it doesn't seem like he needs your financial help. Because you have allowed him to take advantage of you, it's going to be challenging to change the pattern you have established. It's called tough love. If he can pay for his own essential and basic needs, you owe him nothing financially. He needs to recognize that you are all grown up and will not be taken advantage of or manipulated.
