Keep making these threads if you enjoy making them, and ignore the haters. You have a real knack for coming up with scenarios! 
That's probably what I would do too, to get out of that situation. But just doing that won't solve the issue. I'd also try to convince him to seek help from a counselor. After all, he's my friend and I care about him. I feel bad that he's fallen on hard times, but I took him under my wing. And for him to attack me like that and take it out on me is just unacceptable. If I can improve his mental state, I would try to help him get off his feet and find a job of his own. Something that he's passionate about. If he's not sure what his passion is, I would try to help him figure that out too.
If he didn't feel comfortable talking to a counselor about it, I could talk to him myself. I don't want him to scare my kids, or traumatize them because of his actions. So I might try to help him find a place to live that is away from my family, for the sake of protecting them. But I would explain to him that just because I got the job and he didn't, doesn't mean that he can't achieve success in life. Success is finding accomplishment and purpose. You don't have to make a lot of money to achieve that! Can't really think of a good story for this one, but good thread though.
