Chuck, a 30-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, came on Financial Audit expecting to get his "ass chewed." Host Caleb Hammer obliged, but not before discovering a story that went far deeper than bad credit card debt. Chuck had knocked up his 18-year-old girlfriend, moved in with her family, then left her while she was pregnant—so he could play more Counter-Strike.
The episode opens with Chuck explaining that he was 28 when he got his 18-year-old girlfriend pregnant after six months of dating. He moved in with her and her family, then left during the pregnancy. "I was going through a lot of emotional states at that time," he said. When Hammer pressed him on why he left, Chuck answered bluntly: "I broke up with her so I can play more Counter-Strike."
Chuck had been running a pressure washing business with his brother, which he described as having "blown up" to about $100,000 in revenue in its first year and $180,000 in its second. But the brothers sued each other, and Chuck was bought out for $18,000. He claims he was working 60 hours a week; his brother apparently disagreed. The lawsuit, combined with the pregnancy, triggered what Chuck called a "mental crisis." He left his pregnant girlfriend, moved out, and started gaming 80 hours a week—sometimes until 6 AM.
