I mentioned this in the begathon thread, but I'll give my abridged theory here. Phil is awful with money, he impulse buys like crazy and doesn't do any research. He thinks buying expensive things = status, so for the sake of his pride, he always gets the most expensive things whether or not he needs them, like leasing an expensive car when he barely leaves his house or getting a 4k tv etc. And, I'm sure he has tons of debt as well.

However, it's also clear he tries to hide how much money he makes. I don't think he's sitting on a huge pile of money or anything, but I think he does save at least some of it. With his taxes especially, I think he has the money to pay for them, but he's trying to paint a picture where he doesn't have the money because he hates spending anything when it isn't directly for him. He's capable of paying for his taxes, he just believes he shouldn't have to pay that much and wants to be compensated. His bit about having to get more debt or refinance his house etc. is just a guilt tripping act. He's trying to make it seem like he's not begging by presenting all these alternate solutions that he actually has no intention of doing. He wants to make his paypigs feel bad and think something like "Oh, Phil's not such a bad guy, he's willing to take these financial hits. It's the holiday season, lets help him out." Basically, he's trying to change the narrative so people aren't thinking "didn't this fucker just make thousands of dollars in tips? Hey wait, didn't he just post about going out for Kat, and if he's in such a dire situation why is he taking all these days off?" That's also why he mentioned his parents maybe being sick with a fatal case of oldness or something.

Once again, Phil is his own worst enemy though. As previously mentioned, Phil is someone who places his pride entirely on money and the things he owns. Phil wants to brag as much as possible and has little filter, so he ultimately ends up revealing he's lying without anyone having to do any investigative work to prove him wrong. One minute he's thousands of dollars away from being homeless, but then the next day he's boasting about getting a 4k TV or trying to get good guy points for flying his soulmaid out.

If Phil were honest, he'd be saying he has to spend 16k on something, whether it is taxes or debts or something else he feels like he shouldn't have to pay because sees these payments as beneath him.

See, I don't think he can pay his taxes. Not outright.

While Dave lies when it benefits him, his story about putting stuff on CC's this year rings pretty true, and doesn't benefit him as a lie.

I believe that he may actually be broke; I've known people who made comparable money to him who DIDN'T have two bad mortgages and haven't had as many cars as him who were living paycheck to paycheck with no savings at all. Hell I know people who made DOUBLE what he's making who were functionally broke. "Keeping up with the Joneses" is a real and prevalent thing.

I think that he typically has a few thousand dollars of slack in his credit cards and that's what he buys his junk with; and I also think it's possible that he's reached the end of his credit; nobody in the current environment is going to give him new cards, and nobody is going to up his limits.

Also, can we just talk about the fact that he still has no equity at all built up on the condo? He HAD to have gotten a high rate mortgage to still be completely underwater.

What I don't buy is that he's anywhere near being able to refinance his home; his credit has to be so much worse than it was when he bought the place, it boggles the mind to think that he could cut his payments by a significant amount without turning it into like a 100yr mortgage. Which nobody is going to give him.

There's always someone willing to give out credit...at an appropriate interest rate. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Phil signed up for some 0% introductory card that went up to like 24.99% after 6 months or something.

Also, no 2nd stream Saturday night. Obviously the kind of thing someone desperate to make an extra $16k would do, right?

Edit: And there's that $100 tip Phil is fishing for.
 
How are the writers ever going to top Panda going to the hospital and Dave shitting on her multiple ways about/during it?
Ughhhhhh....

What is up, everyone? DSP here.... And, I gotta be honest with you, I'm not good. *snort, smack* My girl Kat has been here since February and it's been great, it's amazing. I finally looked forward to a future with a beautiful woman, and whatever, and being able to make a life for us in this house with kwahlity shtreems and pahsitivity from all you... But sadly, that isn't the case. Ugh..... Kat told me the other day that the place she works for wants to promote her. That's right. Wants to promote her to a position where she makes almost DOUBLE what she does now. And I'm sure you're all like "that's great, Phil! More income to help with the bills!" Well, no. See this promotion will require her to move to Louisiana to manage a Wal....some retail location. Kat has....unfortunately let me know that she plans to take this opportunity, and already has lined up some movers to move all the crap I bought her to Louisiana. I gotta say, guys...I'm feeling really down. *snort*
 
Not to be mad on the internet but I still can't believe how Phil used his parents yesterday.

1) we know he doesn't give a shit about them or he would've visited them at some point already.

2) he admits there's absolutely nothing wrong with them, but he "can tell they're getting ill". They're not that old and his dad still works everyday.

3) despite having no evidence they're sick, implys be only has a year to see them before they kick the bucket.

His poor parents deserve a child that doesn't act like it's impossible to see them more than once in a decade

That's possible too. Unfortunately, I don't know if we'll ever get a solid answer since we only have Phil to go off, who we've already established is completely unreliable, and what we can record from tips and cheers and the like during his streams. At the very least, I still don't think he's in as dire of a situation as he claims to be. It's like how last year he kept insisting he'd lose his house if he didn't hit his monthly goals, yet even when he failed to meet them, he was fine. Or, if he greatly exceeded them, he'd still insist the following month he was going to lose his home. That same logic is why it's hard to believe he actually needs this for taxes, given how many other emergency tax situations he's supposedly been in. Not to mention the times he's insisted he already paid them. Didn't he even try to use putting his relationship on hold with Leanna like he's doing with Kat?

At the very least, I don't think he has a hidden fortune or anything as some others have speculated. If he did, he wouldn't have waited so long to purchase the items he was fishing for, namely the new ps4 and 4k TV. I don't think Phil has the patience not to purchase something he wants, so he wouldn't sit around waiting for his paypigs to take the bait and buy something. Actually, with that in mind, him having a few thousands on his credit cards reserved for junk buying seems likely.

Either way, I don't think he needs the entirety of that 16k to pay for his taxes, and I'm very curious to see what sort of tweets he makes ultimately betraying where whatever money he gets actually goes.

Aren't they partly to blame for what they created? Something like Phil doesn't simply pop up overnight, it was carefully molded throughout the years. And while his fans are definitely to blame for what they allowed him to become his parents started it all off. And from what I hear they still give him everything he wants.
 
Less is more... really do not need an hour long video of Philly. 10 min would've been more than enough.
I would usually agree, but In this case I'm not sure.
In his pile of lies and thousand and one stories it's difficult to spot some interesting facts which slip his snout. This is one of the stories where cutting away too much can cripple the narrative (even so I don't completely agree with Snort's commentary on this, as I do believe paypigs donated him a 4k TV and a PS4pro and he had not bought a new Subaru). I would surely have missed that gold: (timestamp)

"Th..t very few things this year that I bought a...th... that.. the... were new I think earlier this year I was able to afford one hard-drive to backup my videofiles."

Oh no, this poor guy. Fast, tip him all your money, this year he could only buy one of the usually many completely unnecessary useless electronic devices, which he has not a single use for. He really tries to chop down his costs, he would of course totally not buy another hard-drive if he would find some shekels under his couch - oh wait he totally would.
I can't believe, after all these years, with all the crying about having no money, he still buys these things without thinking twice.
 
I can't help but notice the basic bitch way in which Dave speaks, I'm immediately reminded of https://youtu.be/0kusJhuuWFI?t=9
The "moronic interrogative" is strong with Philip. It's been well known for years by everyone that only idiots talk like that so of course he does. I don't know if he is trying to empahise something or if he thinks it makes him sound more articulate. But this is a man who actively leans towards a microphone to belch and has been snorting in everyone's ears for a decade so it's probably a waste of time trying to figure out why.

While I get what you're saying, nature takes just as much to blame as nurture. Nobody raises their kids to be rapists or murderers or conmen. Sometimes someone can have a decent/good life and turn out to be massive cunts/criminal. On the other hand some people who get given nothing but shit in their life turn it around and become the best possible out of their situation.

Do we really know much about his parents? All I know is that Wolverine story, and that seems like parents setting rules and teaching (or trying) their kid patience and acceptance.

I'm not gonna jump on the train of blaming his parents yet. Don't know enough.
 
I am simply making conjectures here, no worries. Was thinking about his job at that helicopter company and how there is a big chance he got accepted/tolerated only because of his father. If thats true it means his parents were definitely overprotective of dear old Phil and he led a sheltered life without really learning any important lessons.

He has said his mother always has to blame someone (ironic coming from him).

100% Fyi - related to my unqualified (aka internet search) findings on DSP:

"Although the cause of narcissistic personality disorder isn't known, some researchers think that in biologically vulnerable children, parenting styles that are overprotective or neglectful may have an impact. Genetics and neurobiology also may play a role in development of narcissistic personality disorder.
(link at https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...onality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662)

There is also a section on "Complications" of narcissistic personality disorder, but on review, there is nothing he could do!
  • Relationship difficulties (No friends, moved to other side of country than his family, panda etc)
  • Problems at work or school ('at school I was not like the other children', was on a cocktail of medications, stalked a girl, considered doing 'something drastic')
  • Depression and anxiety ('that was my depression!')
  • Physical health problems ('I'm not gonna lie folks...I've been better', ghost back injury, gout foot etc)
  • Drug or alcohol misuse (gin nightly from 10-2)
  • Suicidal thoughts or behaviour (tick)
 
Why is he terrified to go back to CT for a visit? If i made 100k in a state without income tax yearly and didn't visit my parents fir thanksgiving they would disown me lol. Its not like phil lives in SF where he is taxed to death the guy has no income tax. Also when he's using these credit cards why is he not saving his money for payments? It is just insane.

I don't think it is a fear based thing, I think he just doesn't care enough. In his eyes, it's a waste of money because he's not getting anything out of going to see his parents. He's inconveniencing himself by changing his schedule, and because he'll be at their place and not his, there's no other benefits like getting them to clean up the gout mansion or do other chores around his house. He's just using them for sympathy points, he's not actually interested in seeing them in the slightest.
