Haven't been able to read and catch up on the whole thread, so maybe some of this has been pointed out already.
1. Something he said near the beginning was pretty revealing to me. He said, 'Once I get my payment from YT on the 21st, I'll be okay for the rest of the month'. So, for what? 10 days and then you're in 'trouble' again? If this is what he's saying, apparently YT only covers the last 1/3 of the month, and what bills does he even have then, given this marathon is supposed to be paying all the bills he's mentioned BEFORE he gets paid by YT.
If his bills are all gonna get paid because of tip goals and this 'marathon', shouldn't he really pinch for that last part of the month so he can roll over as much as he has left into the beginning of the next month so he can pay the bills and not be a month behind all the time? It would honestly only take him those less than 2 weeks of scrimping at the end of the month and then carrying that money over into the next month to get on track.
2. He was his usual pissy self a few streams ago saying, 'Oh, I'm sorry that I spend money on one nice meal out with my wife. Yeah, that's called life, idiot!' Motherfucker, I know people who, when really struggling to make ends meet, will buy bk quantities of beans and rice and eat that shit every day. When you are in the desperate financial straits he claims to be in, no, you DON'T get to splurge on 'just one meal', you make fucking major sacrifices.
3. This is just more dumb than anything else, but I'm sure it was his typical hyperbole as well. He said his 'tax attorney' has to file all kinds of major, complicated paperwork to get his tax payment date changed because it's on the 20th right now, but YT doesn't pay him until the 21st. He says that he's majorly screwed if he misses it because 'he defaulted on a federal payment.
As someone who has had a real tax mess years ago, that just doesn't happen. The IRS sucks overall, but my experience with them has oddly been some of the best and most accommodating. They really just want their money and they will give you all sorts of options to get it to them. It's total BS that they would fuck him for 'defaulting' on a payment, which he seems to think means paying one day late. He doesn't even have to do that either, just make the fucking payment at 11:59 on the 20th, it's not gonna come out until your YT payment hits on the 21st. Just more of his total lack of common sense, which he projects onto others saying they 'don't understand real adult life' like he does.
4. Has anyone ever asked him, where he gave a legitimate answer, why he doesn't ever seem to include Kat's income when figuring out how to pay their bills? My guess is he'd say something attempting to appear magnanimous like, 'Oh, no, that's her money to buy herself things with' when the truth is that if he mentions it as going towards their expenses, he can't cry as poor as he currently does because it makes the math even more shady than it currently is.
5. The thing about him not pursuing another job because 'it won't make me more than I do streaming' is just a dumb argument imo. That's only true because he is still trying to live the life that YT once allowed him to. If he made major changes to his lifestyle and lived within his means, he wouldn't need to find a job that pays him more than streaming, just one that that would allow him to make ends meet if he cut out all his dumb ass wasteful spending.
The root of his problem is that he's thinking 'what job could I ever find that would make me more money than this?', instead of thinking 'what can I cut out or reduce in my life so that it wouldn't require me to make the level of income I have now, but that would allow me to get a more steady job, with consistent income and maybe health insurance and other benefits, to cover my expenses?'
