Chris and money

It's obvious that Chris himself has no grasp on the real value of money, since he actively wastes as much of his tugboat as possible on luxuries like trading cards, sex toys, porn, video games, and - more recently - alcohol.

Chris is a self-admitted impulse buyer. His PSN account shows that more than half of the games he's bought he's never played. And yet, astoundingly, he's still gone out of his way to buy all available downloadable content for every PS3 game that he's ever purchased. All the while, Chris buys his clothes at discount thrift stores.

But wait, Chris isn't employed!

Chris is what most of us would call a welfare leech. Chris's only source of income is the $800 "tugboat" that he receives from the government each month. Chris's parents take $450 to pay for room and board .

Chris, talking about his unemployment

It appears that Bob encourages Chris not to get a job, as it would void his Social Security status. This indicates one of two things: he knows his son is a Failure and wants him to stop trying, or he's instructing Chris to be a parasite off the goverment.

Interestingly enough, while he has no clue how to handle money, Chris has an unhealthy fixation on his material possessions. In Vivitheg's AIM Chat, he admitted he would rather eat a cube of shit than sell his stuff; and in the Miyamoto Saga, refused to sell anything to help pay for the trip to Redmond.

Credit Cards

As surprising as it is that Chris has his own credit cards, it is equally unsurprising how unwisely he uses them. Chris has managed to rack up $2,000 worth of debt (according to Mumble 4, 1000 of which comes from the PSN store) and even stolen his parents' credit cards to use when his were maxed out. Greedy twat that he is, when Chris does make payments towards his debts, he always does so in the smallest installments possible, freeing himself to spend as much as he has (or more) on worthless shit.
