Finances: Difference between revisions

Having no job or any form of financial literacy, [[Cyraxx]] is expectedly completely '''financially destitute'''. He has no reliable source of income, and is essentially a leech who lives off of [[Sally Arntzen|Sally's]] checks. The money Chance earned off of his music sales, which he claims is his whole career, was shown to be a grand total of $5.81, although this data is from 2022 and he makes hundreds of dollars off of livestreaming donations a month. There are rumors that Cyraxx receives SSI checks and that Sally keeps Cyraxx around to pocket that money for herself, however,  statements from family members saying that Chance is on no sort of social security program make this theory rumor extremely unlikely to be true.

Most of the reason why Chance is so destitude is partially because of his [[Health and Appearance|disabilities]] and mostly because of his extreme laziness and [[Intelligence|stupidity]]. Cyraxx is completely financially illiterate, mostly because he is [[Intelligence|generally unintelligent]] alongside the fact he has never had to work. He's shown that he does not understand the value of money. at all, as he's made multiple absurd claims such as that [[MusicBizMarty]] and the [[trolls]] lost him out on over 10 million dollars,{{CitationNeeded}} an [[Apple Watch]] is worth more than a house, and that $680 dollars worth of CDs and [[art]] can be sold for $8,300 (although this is more of a display of his [[Intelligence#Math and Logic|math ability]]).

Cyraxx doesn't get a job due to him not needing one because his caretakers pay for everything and do not encourage him to get any sort of employment, even from a disability service. As a response to Marty asking why can't Cyraxx get a job to help with bills during a phone call with him, Sally replied that he's trying to get a job online but he was unable to find one because of the trolls, as when Cyraxx accomplishes anything, he immediately brags to his trolls about it and they ruin it. When asked why he can't just get an entry-level job or a job offered by an employment program for disabled people, Sally replied that "if he loves what he does, he'll never work a day in his life."{{CitationNeeded}} The only sort of "job" he's had were his [[Kick Saga|Kick]] channel, and him, [[Ed]], and [[Jake]] scrapping metal, as well as odd jobs around the house, which he does poorly.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYLxG8w_6qI&t=245s&ab_channel=TheDriftKingMusicBizMarty</ref> However according to Cyraxx, he claims that he is a [[Cyraxx's Music Career|musician]], online performer, online [[Racing|racecar driver]], and mechanic despite never having any sort of training is any of those fields at all. He has technically made money off of these endeavors, which has granted him the grand total of $5.81.

It's probably impossible to get a regular job as Cyraxx doesn't even have a GED, is 33 with no resume, has no marketable skills, gets easily thrown into extreme fits of rage, and is [[Health and Appearance|physically, intellectually, and mentally disabled]]. He could possibly get a job through a vocational rehabilitation service which works with disabled people doing non-strenuous labor or he can possibly qualify for SSI, but not for much as you need to have a work history to apply for full disability benefits.  

Even factoring out his level of education (or lack of), Chance is too inept to even work any form of minimum wage job. Getting a job even at a grocery store is not likely due to a number of circumstances; he can't really count or do math, he can't clean or organize himself, and he lacks basic social skills so there really isn't any place for him in a business. This also isn't accounting for the fact that if he got a job, an army of [[trolls]] would instantly get him fired, if he didn't already get himself fired by pestering random customers or employees about [[MusicBizMarty|Marty]] and the trolls.

Cyraxx forayed into many attempts to make money through alternative ways, namely streaming and selling art and music. Lolcows making money off of their infamy is not something that is unheard off, like [[Chris Chan]] who is now living off making and selling merchandise themed after his lovechild creation, Sonichu, or KingCobraJFS selling hand-crafted wands. As for Cyraxx however, it can be argued that his reputation as a [[Rage|volatile]] [[Bigotry|racist]] [[pedophile]] makes him far too despicable of a person to garner the sort of ironic fandom that surrounds the two aforementioned examples, and that he is equally both too [[Intelligence|stupid]] and talentless to produce anything of value. For instance, although the Sonichu comics were certainly not original and had terrible storytelling, its crude art style and the awkward interjections from Chris' eccentric life made it stand out among other bad home-made comics, to the point where it started seeping into the mainstream culture later down the line. As for Cyraxx, there is no heart or soul put into any of his creations; there is no appeal to stolen art and songs, screeching over music and AI-generated slop. Cyraxx only "works" for the fame and money, not the love of the craft.

According to [[Sally]]<ref>https://rumble.com/v590fel-the-43s339-are-forced-to-hear-the-truth-about-chance-from-the-apd-on-717202.html?start=1710</ref> and Cyraxx's [[Dale Arntzen|aunt]],<ref>https://youtu.be/vM9Z2FtJhcY?t=564</ref> Cyraxx does not receive any assistance checks or any social benefits other than food stamps. In a phone call with [[Tangerine Cat]], Sally claims that his uncle Bill tried helping him enrolling into SSI back when the family was living in Washington state. However, when they moved to Florida, the state deemed him ineligible and revoked his SSI benefits.<ref>https://youtu.be/ya2BJeWVBco?t=1338</ref> While possible, the fact that Sally has not attempted to restore Chance's social benefits once they moved to Ohio implies that either Chance was also deemed ineligible there or that the family didn't bother going through the procedures all over again without another relative doing it for them. At some point, Sally failed to renew Cyraxx's food stamps for the month, causing him to produce a video where he blames the trolls for somehow taking his food stamps away<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOy4sb8JrKs</ref>.
