Chris has repeatedly shown though his actions and words that he has no idea how to handle money or manage his own finances. Between his impulse spending, his greed and selfishness , his unwillingness to save even the smallest amount of money, and his massive sense of entitlement, Chris manages to demonstrate complete incompetence and ineptitude in managing financial affairs. Chris has repeatedly amassed debt on credit cards, only to have his enabling parents bail him out multiple times.
Too lazy to work , he refuses to make or follow any type of budget or financial plan, instead spending far beyond his means, and expecting others [3] to pay off his accumulated debt for him. It is clear that Chris has no idea what financial responsibility is and that his enabling, delusional parents taught him nothing about how to handle finances while he was growing up.
Irresponsible, careless, and thoughtless, Chris fails at just about every aspect of financial management that can be thought of. For the vast majority of Chris's "adult" life, his only source of income has been the " tugboat " that he received from the U.
How much he got to keep later on isn't known. It's obvious that Chris has no grasp on the real value of money, since he actively wastes as much of his monthly tugboat as possible on frivolous things like trading cards , sex toys , porn , video games , alcohol , make-up , toys , prostitutes and weekly lottery tickets. Chris is a self-admitted impulse buyer. All the while, Chris bought his clothes at second-hand discount thrift stores.
Usually, children are taught the value of money at a very young age — not in Chris's case, apparently. In September , Chris complained about he and his mom going through "emotionally depressing, and Financial Downfall to the depths of Greatly Poor and Just Getting By", making it clear that the family income dipped after Bob's passing.
