I don't think anyone else has pointed out yet, but a full 20% of Lou's stated Grifter Budget TM is set aside for luxuries. A full $100/$500 per month. Not things like getting takeout and stuff mind you (that was ANOTHER part of the budget), but for shit like Wonder Woman hot wheels and vidya and furry coms... you spend like $5 per com Lou, you could buy one com every day for the better part of the month with that amount.
I'd be willing to wager that there are plenty of Kiwis in this thread who don't spend that much on random throwaway bullshit, even while working hard and making a tidy amount of money. Maybe it's frugality on my part, but I can't imagine planning ahead for that; he's basically saying that every month he'll raise what he 'needs' for food, and then continue until he can buy extravagant food, and then just keep right on going until he can buy his stupid bullshit too. It's all a moot point since this is all him playing pretend while his needs are catered to by his mommy, but still, the audacity of it all.
