It's traditional to give a watch on a person's 21st birthday. Pick a nice $200 one and have it engraved on the back.
Sounds like he has too much already, no wonder you're so much in debt. Don't spend the maximum you have....less is ok.
If you really think you want or need to spend the full $500 then still go for the $200 watch and donate the other $300 to a valid charity. As a Christian, I'm sure he realizes they need it more than him.
God doesn't think we should play the "He who leaves behind the most, wins" Game...but should help others.

Wow! That's a lot of information you are giving about your son. He sounds as if he has everything. What more could you get him than he already has. Maybe you could give him a hug and a card and pray for him.

Send him on a Barefoot Cruise. He will love it.
