It's obvious that Chris himself has no grasp on the real value of currency, 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 second-hand discount thrift stores.
But wait, Chris isn't employed!
Chris is what most would call a welfare leech. Chris's only source of income is the $800 "tugboat" that he receives from the federal government every month. Chris's parents take $450 to pay for room and board [1].
| “ | My father helped me get my Social Security set up; I get more a month than I could at a job. | ” |
| Chris, completely deluded. | ||
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 on being a parasite.
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 stated that he did not want to sell any of his stuff; and in the Miyamoto Saga, he refused to sell anything to help raise money 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. Being the greedy twat that he is, when Chris finally 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, entirely oblivious to the fact that he's only increasing his debt by letting interest charges rack up. Economists are currently working on the theory that it is Chris's debts, not the collapse of financial institutions, which have caused the current global financial crisis.
Debtors
Based on current projections, it won't be long before the repo men are called in and Chris is forced to forfeit his shit.
If only he had taken money from the loan sharks, maybe then would they beat the crap out of his HFA ass and teach him a lesson on the value of the dollar.
In the comic
In the comic it is clear Chris has no idea how money works. Sonichu, Rosechu, Patti-Chan, and most likely, all of the other characters live off welfare, just like Chris IRL. He seems to have no concept of tax, or that it's the American populace who pay for his bullshit.
