He survives because he's completely willing to shred his dignity live on stream every single day. How many people reading this can honestly say they'd go every day for literally years begging for spare change, or by using elderly parents to milk money from people, or your partners' mental health conditions, and so on. At some point we'd all give up and get a job or something. You make your own luck, and Phil used his dignity to make his. Eventually that well will run dry for him, but Phil's hope is that by then he'll have accumulated enough shitposted videos on Youtube that he can live comfortably off the residual income for his retirement.I think that's what makes him so fascinating. "I did nothing wrong, I did everything correct" is just such an insane and egotistical mantra that it's impossible not to want to see it proven wrong and foolish. The really surprising part though is how well it's worked out for him, sure he fucks himself over a lot with that mentality, but it should be much worse and somehow isn't. Pigroach luck I guess.
The problem is he has no contingency plan for when things go wrong. If he's ever in a car accident, or gets burgled, or knocks Kat up, he's fucked. He already treats taxes as some completely unforeseen bill that's on top of his normal bills, so it'll probably all end badly for him.
