>$400.00 rent + utilities (smooth talked the price down from friendly landlord)>$35.00 grocery budget (let's assume Dude lives like a true alcy and just doesn't eat that much, most of that money going towards Kahlua and bottom-shelf vodka)>$10.00 for gas a month (drives mainly to the bowling alley and back)>$25.00 for an ounce of mexican brick weed (could very well last Dude longer than a month)>$15.00 for bowling expenses (we're assuming here he has some kind of monthly membership that includes the cost of lane rental + shoes)>$20.00 for miscellaneous thingsWhile being generous Dude needs to be bringing in at least 505 dollars a month to afford his lifestyle even back in 1990. Walter being on VA benefits I always wondered what kind of place he had. I'd imagine it was nicer than Dude's bungalow and he had more spending money even if he didn't have a car
>>221214678 >$1200 per monthYeah that seems good. I defiantly would like to live that life.
>>221214678Why are you obsessed with this specific topic? You've been doing this thread for the past month or so. That's a pretty random thing to get your hyperfocus on.
>>221214678Rubix cube money
>>221214780Be quite and listen a schizo is talking
>>221214678I always assumed that him paying by cheque was because he was broke and probably the cheque would bounce but ut was such a small amount it'd cost more in court fees to go after him
>>221214678The author has said multiple times in interviews that the character sells drugs on the side
>>221214678He had holocaust reparations from German taxpayers
>>221214821Didn't make it into the script so no>>221214864When is it hinted at Dude sells drugs? I could see him maybe selling a bit of pot but that's it
>>221214678Guys like that constantly have little schemes to bring in money. The secret is that any time they have a "big" score, they don't go wild spending it. They stick to their low resource lifestyle, slowly using up the funds until the next score, which might be a bunch of small things or another big one. The man "The Dude" is based off of is a trust fund kid that dabbles in movie production from time to time. He was one of the main forces behind 'FernGully' and even somehow ended up mixed up with 'Delgo'. But mostly he's involved down in the deep layers of Hollywood accounting. So the actual "Dude" is well off, has two daughters, and is a power broker of those deep down in the plumbing of Hollywood.
>>221214678He had his own bowling shoes.
>>221214678NEET god
You know, for a board that makes a lot of threads about the Dude's financial situation, I don't see you guys ever discuss the idea about why he gives up the money at the end by asking too many demanding questions instead of just pretending he had something to do with the girl showing back up and asking for the money in exchange, the way fate clearly wanted when it put his car right behind hers. What's the deal with that?
>>221214780The crazy part is they ignore the only actual answer from the movie. He co wrote something semi famous. But i guess it's not that crazy when you consider most posters here do not watch movies.
>>221214678Maybe this was Walter's house: https://youtube.com/shorts/_zlK4hTbEJs
>>221216018Because he never would have got paid that way either. They probably would have just thrown him out of his wheelchair and left.
>>221216259Bots can't watch movies anon
>>221217413Bot generated thread to farm 'engagement' and sometimes to post screenshots on twitter. A good 70% of threads are like this. So many fucking retards come here and have no idea
>>221218239This place was atleast this retarded before ai althoughbeit
>>221214678>$25.00 for an ounce of mexican brick weed (could very well last Dude longer than a month)You expect a regular smoker to only consume one gram a day? There's people that smoke top shelf hash that go though more than a gram a day. This is well off.
>>221214955>trust fund;-)
this thread wasn't worth making the first time
>>221214902>Didn't make it into the scriptits literally in the script.
>>221218524Go outside my nigga
>>221214843It's also a post dated check for 69 cents.
>>221214678Walter owns a business. I watched the movie an absolutely obscene amount of times before I noticed this.
