Containment What If?

So basically exactly the same. Even if he had a trust fund, he’d still e-beg. Instead of emphasizing mortgage payments, he’d play up Barb’s medical expenses or something. Trust funds aren’t unlimited money pools— it’d basically be another tugboat for him that’d relieve some of the financial pressure. Barb would definitely blow it on new kitchen appliances that she’d never use and a new car every six months until whatever hypothetical settlement they were awarded runs dry. This happens quite a bit with poorer/uneducated folk who come into a large sum of money: they pretty much burn through all of in a year living a conspicuously luxurious lifestyle until they can no longer sustain it, then back to the trailer park they go.

You're right. Unfortunately, Chris was more educated (to a degree), but still couldn't be bothered to handle money like an adult. Bob was the only one out of the 3 that was able to keep the finances together. Imagine if Barb died instead of Bob.
 
What if Chris was the CEO of Zoom?
 
What if he never got the hormones and trooned out?
Wondered this myself, many times. It's an interesting question because it would reshape the last 10 years of his life. I'm not convinced that the tomgirl saga was not planted by an idea guy from 2010, because the troll tomgirl forum was set up after the revelation to Jackie. So, along the line of thought that the tomgirl saga was planted by an idea guy, I think he would have been pointed in another equally goofy direction. What the direction might be is anyone's guess.
 
What if Chris, Barb, Bob and Cole all starred in a goofy late 80s/early 90s style Full House-esque family sitcom?
 
what if Barb had passed away instead of Bob?
Chris would be more upset about her dying since that means the one person who enables him would be gone, and Bob would want Chris to help out more since his health isn’t so great. Chris would complain, Bob wouldn’t allow him to do Tomgirl shit, and eventually he’d succumb to heart disease as well, which would hopefully leave Chris with the tens of thousands of dollars Barb wasted hiring Bell. But Chris would probably burn through it as well; toys, vidya, conventions, etc. Basically the same problems now but in a different sequence.
