The fucked up thing is, he totally could've continued doing his stupid shtick with the credit cards. You have to realize, he wasn't paying off his credit cards with more credit cards. What he did was he just maintained the same set of credit cards and kept them perpetually maxed out. And then once in awhile he'd pay off enough debt (say from maxed out to only $4500/$5000), and then blow that debt he freed up. And then he'd repeat it.
The reason he's imploding now is because he's going insane. He doesn't care about the real world anymore. Even his simple autistic pleasures of blowing money on stupid plastic crap isn't cutting it for him.
He's going to go to cwcville and all his stupid plastic crap will come alive.
Chris' finances, while not good from a normal person standpoint, were sustainable, aside from Barb occasionally sticking her hand in the cookie jar and unexpected expenses like the car breaking down. Minimum payments on however many cards he has now, single-ply toilet paper and Goodwill clothes, Hungry Man dinners, cell phone and whatever other bills he has, and then the rest of the tugboat (and all of the eBay/Patreon money) could go to toys and fast food.
It's not impossible for him to get back to a sustainable point (as I've said elsewhere, it starts with making sure his tardbux go into a separate checking account), but I don't think he'll be able to do so without a lot of pain.
