But Fatty dropped that shit years ago now. That would mean that's a bunch of old product, which still goes stale or just bad, or they're somehow still affording that overpriced shit?

Hammy might still be using it. They both might still be using it. Or it could be they're like, "we have it, we might as well keep it and use it someday".

My guess is they're vacuum packed and are shelf stable for like five years or something. But still, that's a lot of product for just two people.

Doesn't know what real garlic looks or tastes like because he uses garlic powder since it's easier and "tastier".

It's easier but he has used jarred garlic before which is nasty and there's the infamous "nuclear garlic" that he used to use for a while. They'd buy it in bulk, freeze it and when defrosted it had a sickly yellow translucent look about it.

Assuming the stats on Social Blade are accurate: with a $4 CPM rate (extremely optimistic for the reasons stated in the previous post) Jack would be pulling in about $11k/year from the main channel and Jack On The Go combined.

We know that there is a loan involved on the new property. Jack posted about sending paperwork to "loan guy":


Jack Jr. works in a warehouse for a charity. He's not pulling in the big bucks. We have no idea what Bri is doing for work. She has an associates degree in criminology (a classic dumb girl degree), and her work history is admin associate type stuff, so she's probably not making that much either. Combined, maybe they can swing a mortgage payment on a $425k house, but would a bank give a mortgage on a 40-50% debt-to-income ratio? It's mathematically impossible that they could have saved up that amount of money at their age and income levels.

Nothing about the Scalfani financial situation makes sense without some outside source of financing. There is no evidence that the Scalfani household has been running up credit card debt, unlike with DSP, so that comparison isn't quite apt. The theory of Tammy's parents financing all of this seems the most likely.

How much exactly do you think YouTube pays out? Even on the high end, the high-value content creators only have a CPM of about five bucks. Even if we assume that Jack has been labelled as such all this time, his ~150 million views between all his channels in the last 18 years only nets to about $41 000 a year. And that's before figuring in that he eats out daily, buys smokers, pressure cookers, and knife sets like others buy toilet paper, goes on multiple vacations a year, and regularly falls for expensive bullshit like freeze dryers, Profile by Sanford, and Annual Apple Product.

And that $41 000 is on the HIGH end, assuming that EVERY video view gets an ad view. With Jack being very lucky to crack 10 000 views while having consistent output, he's certainly at the bottom of advertiser-friendly lists, and most views being from hate watchers who'd have adblock turned on, Jack ain't getting that $5 per 1 000 views.

$41,000 is well above average in Tennessee. They're also a 2 income household with no mortgage. I don't think he earns that much, but even 2/3 of that would be good going.

The smokers, knife sets, etc. are all received for free. We know that Jack says yes to every single brand that approaches him for a review. The companies that he reviews for tend to be low-grade Chinese shit that spam out offers to every channel with >X subscribers. They don't look at recent views or thoroughly appraise the channel. Go look at Raid Shadow Legends - they'll give anyone a deal that'll still them. This is the exact same.

They go on local holidays out of season. The expenses for these will be pretty low. As I mentioned in my previous post, too, the house will be paid off, so in addition to their above-average household income, a larger portion of their post-tax salary will be disposable due to their lack of mortgage payments. They can afford these things.

See my previous post. They are essentially a single-income household, and they do have a mortgage. Optimistically, Jack makes enough to cover their vacations and the expenses for Jack On The Go episodes.

See my previous post. They are essentially a single-income household, and they do have a mortgage.

I'm looking through the thread, though, and I can only see speculation about a mortgage on this house. Not saying you're wrong, but has this been confirmed in some way or is it just assumed? More than happy to admit I'm wrong on this.

Optimistically, Jack makes enough to cover their vacations and the expenses for Jack On The Go episodes.

I think the overall point I'm trying to make is that their combined household income will be more than enough to cover their outgoings. From what I can see, a CPA with some experience can charge anywhere between $50-$100 or more. If they were still living in Cali, or were living somewhere like Seattle or NYC I'd be of the opinion that they'd have to rely on financial support from elsewhere (i.e., Tammy's parents), but I don't believe they're in such dire straights. I know that they had to downsize, but as I see it, that was down to Jack's physical condition as opposed to a lack of money. I don't think they would've gone the route they did (giving Jr and Brianna a house) if they were struggling.

Jack posted about "loan guy", I think that's enough confirmation that they have some sort of debt on their new house. Unless Jack leaks a mortgage statement or we get a document drop somehow, we're not going to get any better confirmation than that.

Tammy is not a CPA. There is no record of anyone with the name of Scalfani having a CPA license in Tennessee. As far as I know she's never been a CPA, she's done in-house accounting for various companies, never sticking around for more than a few years, and you don't need a CPA to do that.

Fair enough. That's my mistake. I do still think it's reasonable to assume that their incomings exceed their outgoings, though.

The trouble is, we know their food bills alone for just those two fatasses, ends up being hundreds of dollars a month. Even if it's not steak and just chuck roast, you can't just eat 1-2 pounds of that a day(plus another pound of cheese) and pretend you're being frugal(and that's just Fatty). If we assume Tammy is getting at least 1 stupid starbucks drink a day, that's another $200+ a month every month, for years, just for 1 person to be drinking crappy coffee.

On top of the nursing home stint that needed to be paid for, Fatty has had plenty of other health issues as well including his diabetes that he can't simply ignore. Most of the kitchen gadgets are cheap chinese junk, but that's still another $150 chinese knife set every other month, a new $100-150 cheap chinese gadget every month he isn't "reviewing" a knife set, and then at least 3-4 grills a year and he isn't buying dinky little webers either.

Even if Fatty uses Fat on the Go as an excuse to write off constantly going to restaurants so he's not paying taxes on that income, that doesn't change that those two still go out to eat constantly(and likely order delivery even more often). These expenditures on top of the mortgage that they absolutely do have on the new home(not sure what's going on with the sale of the 103 property), add up to an otherwise sedentary couple who do fuck all, spending thousands of dollars a month on bullshit that Tammy and Fatty's middling passive income need to cover.

Jr can probably afford his xbox working in a warehouse, plus his gym membership he uses to go stare at men. That's reasonable. Brianna doesn't seem to have any high paying career. If Fatty is making fuck all for income then that means Tammy is basically funding that family Solo?

And yeah, the first TN house was cheaper when he bought it. I said as much. Lets say 300k, and they got what, 550 for it? Ok, the 103 greenbrier house was 475. That leaves 75k. 75k doesn't get you an entire extra house at 101 greenbrier. Down payment? Absolutely, but a 2nd plot and entire house? No. And if 103 was sold to the kids for 425k, do you seriously think Jr and Brianna bought that? Come on.

These are manageable expenses.

This is now like my third time telling you that the nursing home stint was covered by his health insurance. At worst his premium will have gone up.

He doesn't spend money on the cheap Chinese gadgets. He gets given them for free to review.

These expenses will be manageable on their income.

The financial support they've given Jr and Brianna is the house. They'll pay a token amount in rent at worst and will have enough coming in to cover their outgoings as a result.

As @Spasticus Autisticus has corrected me, they have a mortgage. If I assume your calculations are correct, it'll be 75k plus the mortgage to build the property at 101.

Edit: Anyways, I'm clearly shitting up the thread, so I'll give it a rest.

 

[p1138]

I'm quoting Zillow's listings for the sale prices. Those transactions are public. Where you're getting what Fatty's passive income from youtube is(because it sure as hell isn't due to his current content creation), I'd like to know, as it's optimistic at best. He makes fuck all from livestreams via superchat and has hardly any paid members. Even Socialblade, the site that laughably over-estimates how much money people make on youtube still only pins Fatty at $10k/year and Fat on the Go at 1.3k. There's a reason Fatty failed at his stupid etsy store only ever making 2 sales on the dilly dolphin bullshit, and it isn't like his regular merch store is going to be raking him income either for stupid AI generated shirts or CWJ bucket hats. Clearly they're not destitute, and Tammy has some idea of what she's doing, but she alone isn't funding what is basically a family of four, that eats like a family of 8, living in 2 separate houses.

Hell, looking around at other homes in the neighborhood that have sold in the past few years(3-4), it honestly also looks like they've overpaid for a 2300 sqft home in the area.

What in the world? No wonder fatass got a visit from the secret service lol


As for the money debate, I think Qarolyn subsidized the construction of the new place. That explains the shitty mother day posts Jagoff makes about how lucky he is to have Qarolyn as a "2nd mother" after his own mom passed away.

The smokers, knife sets, etc. are all received for free.

Or so he says. Sure he's probably received a couple for free but I'd wager that most of them were purchased and he just says they got them for free so he can look like a big Youtube chef.

Elon has been getting a lot of hate, deservedly so, for the longest time even before he purchased Twitter. But of course Conspiracy Fatty is on the case.

Yeah sometimes I forget Jack is like 55 years old because of how he looks and acts like a 70 year old boomer.

His internal organs are probably in worse condition compared to the average 70 year old. The fat collection in his gut specifically means he has a lot of extra visceral fat covering his heart, kidneys, liver, etc. I guess it’s fitting he acts older than he is (in a negative way), because his body sure as hell is aging faster than it should.

Jack usually steers clear of this type of humor at least since I have been following him because he is smart enough to realize that he can't wipe or eat without his wife's help. Jack treats Tammy like shit in his weekly CWJ and JOTG videos and once every 2 weeks he posts the same picture of her with his heart-eyed bitmoji next to it to express his love.

 

[saralovesjuicyfruit]

WRT Scalfani finances, I'm of the opinion that they probably do have more money than many here think, but I also think they are probably in massive debt. I work in lending for a financial institution and I see how people manage their finances -- it's absolutely insane the way some people live. I've seen couples who have a combined annual income of $350k with like 15 credit cards, all with high balances, like $7k just on a fucking Ulta store card alone for instance. I think Jack and Tammy are probably like so many other middle class Americans: so financially illiterate that they have no idea how wealthy they truly are, because the way they spend prevents them from ever realizing that. As for medical expenses, I think a good number of the regulars in this thread probably aren't American and have mostly just heard the cherry-picked healthcare cost horror stories, but employer-sponsored health insurance is pretty cheap ( e.g. I pay $80/month for myself and it includes vision and dental as well), and if you have it, you're basically gonna pay nothing or close to nothing for the medical care itself. Even if you're self-employed you can get a good individual plan for like $300/month. More expensive, but beats the hell out of paying the wildly inflated healthcare costs yourself should you need them.

Jr. and Brianna don't seem to have high-paying jobs, but it's possible or even likely that each of their parents had savings accounts for them throughout their lives. That seems like something that Tammy at least would have been smart enough to set up and contribute to. We don't really know anything about Brianna's family. Maybe a relative died and left her money; I know people in their 20s who were able to buy houses relatively young due to that. They did pay for their own wedding too, so they've obviously succeeded at saving up some money before. It was very modest compared to maybe the 'average' wedding, but even doing what they did would still cost in the ballpark of like $5k.

Jack treats Tammy like shit in his weekly CWJ and JOTG videos and once every 2 weeks he posts the same picture of her with his heart-eyed bitmoji next to it to express his love.

That’s not surprising to me in the slightest. He barely even acknowledges his wife’s help with his cooking videos (as he can’t move one of his arms), and still acts as if he was doing everything. At least he has some self awareness, but he’s still pretty lazy in the romance department if he thinks occasional bitmoji posts expressing his love is enough for what Tammy does for him daily. The least he could do is offer to buy her Olive Garden for days she doesn’t want to cook (doesn’t have to be that place, Jack just comes across as the apex consumer for restaurants of that type).
