[October 23, 2019] NEW REEEEEEMERGENCY - The begging season starts earlier every year...

[Freshtodeath]

Even if all of that was true (and I don't think it is), why would he only know about it a week before the money was due? If it was a payment plan with the IRS, that's all laid out way in advance. For a logical person, it would be a top priority, and the tens of thousands of dollars he's made in the past few months would easily cover it anyway (since even with penalties you would only pay taxes on a fraction of what you owe). It wouldn't be something he'd suddenly have to desperately beg for the week before it was due.

good point, it does make no sense. However phil does this thing a lot where he plans expenses based on the consistency of his income. So he says, "If I stay at this level I'll be fine". Which is dumb as a fuck in his field so obviously it has dipped a bit lately,.

$1800 would be the minimum payment on a credit card with a balance between $45,000 and $90,000.

It would be three month's minimum payments on a credit card with a balance between $15,000 and $30,000.

It's very possible he's been neglecting a credit card and just got his "You are 90 days overdue on payments. If you do not make payment arrangements we will pursue legal action."

Phil was saying things "off the cuff" and let it slip that this was something he has been working on since April.

April was when he said his tax guy set up the 2018 tax payment plan.

If Phil doesn't stick to the payment plan, the IRS will consider the deal to be broken and will demand the whole amount.

Phil has not been making payments towards his 2018 taxes. He has not paid his 2019 taxes.

I guarantee he will tell us he needs money to pay his taxes again this year. Either directly or he will say he needs $20k for something he can't tell us.

 

[actually]

Phil has not been making payments towards his 2018 taxes. He has not paid his 2019 taxes.

If he had missed payments at any point on the 2018 payment plan, he'd already be in trouble. More likely is that he didn't plan correctly and found himself short on funds for the upcoming payment (or made the payment and needs money for other debt payments). It'll be interesting to see what happens with the 2019 taxes. If he hasn't paid on them, he's going to be in a world of hurt.

Edit: Could also be something related to the CT condo--wasn't April when they went to CT to get married? If so, that's when he had "the talk" with his mom and made mention of just not paying the CT mortgage.

Wouldn’t it be better for them to just rent out the condo? Why did they just jump to stopping payments and letting it forclose, guess that’s probably the easiest option

That requires two of Phil's biggest fears, actual effort and human interaction.

You may not have been around for it, but he did at one point explore this avenue. Unfortunately, the property management company had the absolute gall to want to talk to Phil over the phone instead of by email. Naturally, this was a dealbreaker for Phil, so he quickly gave up on trying. He also declared (in a probably deleted thread) that the $500-$800 a month he figured he would get in rent was "not worth it". He also seems to think (or uses as an excuse) that the management company would take half of the rent as their fee, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority take something more like 10%.

I believe that you mean FREE human interaction. Because unless the property management company isn't corresponding with cheerssubsandtips, Phil don't wanna hear it.

i'm sticking with the taxes & mortgage story, he was late on mortgage payments so the taxes wern't paid, as soon as it was leaked he probably used a credit card to pay it and now the tips goal is for his credit card bills and not technically taxes cause this is how dave's brain works

At the rate these $100 tipping donations are trickling in, I'm now certain he will have no trouble of reaching the 1.8k even without Jeff Anderson's last minute whaling

He'll need Jeff or Heaving to show up.

At most he'll make $200 in a day, and with only 2 left, he wont hit it without a whale.

Plus he's playing DQB2 tomorrow, which even his own hardcore fans wont watch.

 

[actually]

He got a headstart with $410 on the day he introduced this new begging segment (begment?). I'm assuming that the 30th is no good, because he won't be able to access the tips that day quickly enough. He's currently at $1012, so he needs to get basically $800 tonight and tomorrow, unless someone tips on Tuesday.

....So basically someone will tip on Tuesday and he'll miraculously make it.

Then turn around and set up another $1000 goal during the Halloween begathon. And for federal taxes at Christmas and during January-March.

Surely he wont set up a 1000dollars goal the day after this ends. Im sure. That would be greedy beyond everything.

Quote me. The only way it doesn't happen is if Jeff shows up and tips the full $1800 after the goal has been met.

 

[Sphadilcastro]

The day after is too soon even for Phil but there will definitely be a $1000+ event in November. I think he's trying to avoid another 5 figure tax begathon and instead is opting to break up the begging over the course of several months.

 

[Wurstbrot]

Even if he won't hit the $1800 he gets what he wanted from the very beginning: Basically the anticipated $200 a day, for a week.
He just had to crank up the siren and alarm the most softest sponges and squeeze them dry, very easy. He knows exactly how to handle his army of gullibles; tell them you're honest, tell them nothing, pretend to panic, profit.

$200 for 6 working days is $1200, so around $4800 every month if this crybaby would get what he wants. Holy shit. That's double the amount a normal job would gain, and then add Khet's job.

 

[FamicomGorby]

With the CT cahndo, the $1800 might be an assement Phil got from the condo association/management. Could be they got around to doing some kind of improvement to the building and are getting the owners to pay up, which of course Phil would never have planned for.

I wonder how easy it is for them to raise the fees

 

[Meerkat Ink]

No matter whether he gets it or not, nothing will change and he will still beg for bills next month. We got some extra 'nervousness' begging segments and some lols.

He'll probably reveal what it is later on or lie, which we won't know until he contradicts himself in his classic fashion.

Unless he has been cooking up some 4D financial plans or gets behind the scenes funding he's still fucked and has to beg for bills for the foreseeable future. DSP's not a guy who prioritizes debts so he won't get out of this situation for some time, let alone set aside money in case the paypigs aren't feeling generous and his Patreon dries out completely.

However, he does seem like he's been doing some planning behind the scenes, and I won't be surprised if one day he comes out and says he won, flips the bird on the trolls, calls Tevin a n*gger on Twitch and disappears completely, only to reappear years later broke and divorced.

Question to some of the folks out there who watch some of the bigger names in streaming that aren't tittystreamers, how many have random "anonymous" people roll on up and drop thousands of dollars like it's no thang? The biggest I watch are Kottongamer who on a slow day might get 1600 or so people and over 2000 on a good one and Kitboga who does prank calls on Coolie scammers and he'll average 9k to 12k and I never see anyone do what the paypigs do on Phil's channel.
