Conspiracy theory: tintin is actually secretly rich
Think about how he's always travelling with no problem at all. He has contacts with generals and emirs and wealthy people in every country. He claims to be a journalist yet we barely see him ever write an article or collect evidence. Half the time he falls into the adventure then leverages his time to track down the villains. We never see him actually working a 9-5 job and when he's in his apartment we see him eating and reading newspapers but never working. Don't forget that at his time if you wanted to travel to all the exotic places he did you had to be very very wealthy. Tintin definitely inherited a lot of money or makes more than we think.
