Want he wants. That actually makes a lot of sense. Let's face it, living with your parents in your mid-twenties in this economy is not that out out of the ordinary. So finding reasons to have some motivation may be helpful for him.

I will continue encouraging him. I think that's the best thing to do, from what I've gathered.
Ultimatums, no. Encouragement with a twist of slight pressure might be ok. Without that twist of slight pressure, he may never have motivation. Anything you do, proceed with caution.
Good luck.
