There seems to be evidence that he views bills and credit card minimums as money he is forced to pay. If he is ever in a situation where he pays rent, I imagine that will fall into the forced payments category as well.

If he is forced to fend for himself, I am sure he will buy all kinds of dumb crap. But I don't think he will be evicted. At least not right away. I think there is a possibility that over the years, the debt piles up so he can't afford the minimums, but in the short term he will view rent in the same way he views Barb hectoring him for money. Necessary, but annoying. The world is trolling him, but he has no choice but to roll with it.

This is a very accurate observation IMO. When Chris knows that "not paying anything = credit card cut off", he'll very grudgingly make a payment, but only the most minimal of one (this is not evidence that he is responsible with finances. Just that he knows the difference between "This is pain. This is absence of pain" stimuli). The entropy of this though is that sooner or later, he will have filled up his available credit from new purchases and all his $25 a month payments are doing is keeping the debt rolling on an on for years with compounded interest, and no credit limit left to buy anything new. Chris' only blessing is that his being on SSI makes that income immune from being garnished.

Assuming Barb really is as strapped for cash as Chris suggests, I can't figure out why she should be. I know she spent all the savings on hiring Rob Bell, but what the hell is she spending her monthly income (likely at least $1500 plus whatever she demands from Chris) on? I know they have car payments and probably platinum package cable and Internet, but the house is in good shape thanks to the post-fire rebuild, the property taxes are crazy low, she doesn't have to pay for medical care, and... Dental expenses? Some weird snake oil "Doctor" that isn't covered by Medicare? Or is it really all hoarding?

I also don't understand all the "Barb's dying" talk. She's, what, 75? Statistically, white lower-middle-class ladies with access to medical care in the US are likely to live to 80. Unless there's something I haven't heard about a health crisis, I'd expect Barb to have at least another few years.

Not knowing all of Barb's debt load, I can assume she's

-- Paying off the regular monthly expenses (at least one mortgage, taxes, trash, utilities & water, etc.)
-- "No Money Down!" car payments
-- Paying back the life insurance of Chris' that she borrowed from
-- Payments of debts owed to Discover as court-ordered
-- Goodwill crap

And all the "Barb's dying" talk is that she's living in a hoarder house with a poor diet, butt sores, no dentures, failing eyesight, and inadequate medical care despite her access to Medicare/Medicaid. She may have already died and turned into a zombie as far as we know, but she can't do much damage to Chris without any teeth.

Bob left a nice nest egg for them but Chris' antics wiped that out damn quick. And Barb is leaving nothing at all to Chris when she expires. It seems that Barb and Chris have both doomed each other due to their own selfishness.

Are we sure Barb paid for Rob Bell? I remember when that was going down and that he took their case on advisement from Rocky and he was going to work pro bono as to fill his requirement of public service suggested by the state bar association.

This is what we initially thought. But we later found out that Bell was not working pro bono. If anything he may have given them a discount as a favor to Rocky, but they still paid him thousands of dollars.

Last time she was seen (by Marvin at Chris's last hearing, I believe) she was noted to be looking very frail, hard of hearing, and much more submissive to Chris than she's otherwise been known to be. That, and with a lifestyle like hers, it would surprise me if she made it to 80. Then again, you know what they say about the good dying young...

She really looked stooped over and barely ambulatory in that video imo. Barb may be eating bananas because it's the only thing she can handle with no teeth or dentures. Not only is she losing her hearing, but more recent reports is that her eyesight is failing as well. Maybe it's a mercy to her to avoid having to see a fat tranny in bad makeup putting yet another Tupperware container of spooge into the freezer while he's singing "I am woman! Hear me roar!" in his dreadful singing voice.

In ever-declining physical and mental health, causing Chris even more STRESS as he struggles both to look after her and fit in twelve hours of PS4. Increasing senility makes her conversations incomprehensible as her mind flits through time. Mobility issues result in Chris needing to help her with even the most basic movements. And as for :briefs:, let's just say that karma hits Chris hard.

She looks in pretty shitty health, even given her age. Mind you, there are people who somehow defy the odds.

He will zone her out as he becomes more detached from reality because he is incapable of understanding other people having needs separate from his. As Barb becomes more frail and less able to declare her needs, she will only get meals when Chris becomes hungry enough to buy meals for himself with hers along the way, and only get her debt paid when the collectors harass him.
