*13th - Over three weeks after the original lawn tractor ad was taken down from [[Craigslist]] due to a ween, Chris finally realized what happened and re-posted it, still asking for $595.

==February '17==

*19th - Chris [[March 2017 Facebook Posts#Please buy stamps|begs on Facebook]] for people to buy more stamps, saying "[[Lie|My mother and I can Really do with the money]]".

==April '17==
*4th - Barb's [[April 2017 Facebook posts#Whining about the mortgage|bank account is over $800 in the red]] after making two payments to Seterus, Inc, a loan servicing company - likely a result of failing to juggle both a past-due account and the autopay feature.

*20th - [[April 2017 Facebook posts#Barb borrowed from life insurance|Barb bails herself and Chris out of imminent financial ruin]] by borrowing from their life insurance, repeating [[Open Relationship E-mails#Barb is borrowing from Chris's life insurance|a move she pulled in 2014]]. This time, she uses the cash to fix the $800 deficit on her bank account, pay for Chris to ship the Sonic Totem to its buyer, and buy groceries.

[[File:Paypal request to cole.png|thumb|What Cole would have seen if he had clicked on the Paypal.me link Chris tweeted to him while begging this month.]]
[[File:Penny_donation_may_2017.jpeg|thumb|What Cole would have really paid.]]

*5th - On eBay, Chris halves the prices on two listings: his stamp album (again), to $250; and a collection of Sonichu drawings from 2014, to $1,000. He [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Reduced prices on eBay|begs people to buy]] on Facebook.
*5th - In a jaw-dropping display of [[hypocrisy]], Chris mocks [[Cole Smithey]] on Twitter [[May 2017 tweets#Mocking Cole for requesting donations|for requesting donations on Patreon]].
*5th - Chris claims his bank account is in the red for the second time in a week [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 05052017|due to the auto-pay for one of his bills]], echoing the exact problem Barb claimed in the previous month. Chris's [[Monthly Tugboat]] had deposited $1,300 to him two days beforehand.<br> He also realizes that The Classic bidder won't be paying for it.
*8th - Over the course of a week, Chris had spent $90 on [[List of Chris's video games#Games bought during the Financhu Crisis|six new PS4 games]], even though he had said his bank account was in the red. PSN allows Paypal for purchases, so Chris was either lying or being financially irresponsible by using his Paypal to fund the purchases instead of transferring the money to his bank.
*8th - After 561 days since the last update to the Sonichu comic, [[Etsy#Donate towards New Comic Book Pages|which he had been paid over $1,000 to do]], Chris [[Live Drawing Stream - 05082017|resumes work on it]]. He requests donations and pledges to his Patreon for his effort. A day later, he had gotten zero new pledges.

*11th - Barb [[May 2017 tweets#Financial leap of faith|is allowing her bank account to be in the red after a mortgage payment]]. Less than a week after mocking Cole for not reconciling with Barb, Chris [[May 2017 tweets#Help, Cole!|begs him for money]], asking for [[DStecks|$1,000]].
*14th - [[Live Drawing Stream#05142017|Another livestream of Chris drawing]] Sonichu comic pages is recorded, clocking in at 1 hour and 38 minutes of footage. Chris begs for $10 donations or pledges to [[Patreon]] in the video description.
*15th - Chris [[Live Drawing Stream#05152017|records himself using Photoshop for an hour and a half]]. He begs for his audience to "PLEASE DONATE BIG NOW!" It should be noted that he filmed himself surrounded by expensive electronics, such as the PS4 camera and laptop (possibly a newly-acquired one, as it had not been mentioned by Chris before).
*16th - Chris [[May 2017 tweets#Begging to Cole again|tries to beg from Cole again]], still asking for [[DStecks|$1,000]].
*17th - The Chandlers pay the first half of the 2017 property tax for [[14 Branchland Court]], costing them $606.83.<ref>[[:File:Propertytax2017 1.png]]</ref>
*19th - After announcing that [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Pretend ads in Sonichu|Sonichu 11 pages will be ready in a few days]], Chris begs for handouts. Later that day, he discovers that his cat, Sorbet, [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Sorbet badly injured, staying at vet|had been seriously injured]] and takes him to a vet.
*24th - Chris [[Minor Update, Handouts!|begs for handouts on video]], claiming to need money for food and mentioning that he was charged $160 for Sorbet's vet bill. He demands for donations to be at least a dollar and suggests a $10 minimum. An hour later, he uploads another video, angered at having received a donation of less than a dollar. In the second video, Barb appears and joins in the begging, requesting money for meal replacement shakes.
*25th - Chris [[May 2017 Facebook posts#More begging|links to the first of the previous day's videos on Facebook]] and begs again. He also deletes the second video.

==June '17==
*16th - Barb [[We need immediate funds, please|begs for food money]], while wearing both a $400 gold necklace and a [[Semen|pearl necklace]]. Shortly after, Chris posts an in-progress Sonichu page to [[Patreon]] and begs on that platform for grocery money.

==July '17==
[[File:Mariner Finance vs Chris.png|thumb|150px|Mariner Finance vs Chris]]

*11th - Mariner Finance sues Chris for unpaid debt.
*22nd - After a month without begging, due to a boost in [[Patreon]] funds after Chris revived the Sonichu comic, [[July 2017 tweets#Resuming begging|he begs for $50]]. He had given that amount to [[DoopieDoOver]] earlier that month as a pledge on her Patreon.

*11th–13th - Chris makes an expensive, three-day trip to [[BronyCon]] in Maryland. Other attendees have stated that the cost for going to BronyCon is around $2,000–3,000 when including travel, food, souvenirs and lodging.

*24th - Mariner Finance’s unpaid debt case against Chris is dropped.

==September '17==
