Something I notice in the recurring debate of how Jack and Tammy can afford to live like white trash millionaires is the absence of American perspective: It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Jack and Tammy are more than a million dollars in debt. Despite being Gen X, the Scalfanis epitomize Boomer Jones values too much for me to pretend Jack isn't banking on Jesus calling him to heaven to save him from the bankruptcy proceedings Satan uses to persecute good Christians that Jehovah Gud blessed with American Express cards.

Fatty seems like the kind of guy that would have bought this for Jr at a young age:

And yes. This is an actual product. Meanwhile Fatty exemplifies all seven of the Deadly Sins.

This gives me warhammer 40k level of fanaticism I kinda like it

Fatty's prepping ended with making snack bags of dehydrated halfassed jerky for snacks on the go, and that dehydrated rotten mess he supposedly mailed to that soldier overseas for Thanksgiving.

Yes he's done a couple fat on the go videos around 8 years ago visiting a couple of amish markets. In this he makes an ass out of himself like usual and likely only maybe bought the stupid steak rub

He is such an ignorant fucking ASSHOLE.

EDIT: Please , die Jack . Oh, and also Boogie,

Stroke or heart attack in next 17 days mark my words.

Clearly Tammy is doing something with their finances. But unless Fatty made millions in what little "heyday" he had, they have to have blown through that by now. Especially when you consider that a house they didn't own in Cali, somehow meant they were able to move to TN which is a reasonable assumption as the housing market in TN at the time was much cheaper. However that doesn't fit with Fatty not having an income worth a shit for most of a decade and Jr actively going out of his way to not be able to contribute to the household, while a group of 4 has a food bill that would normally suit a family of 8. Nursing homes are not cheap, everyone in the house eating for 2, and constantly eating out is not cheap either. These things add up over time and Tammy's income alone no matter how good it is in the finance department at the logistics company she works at for her day job is not going to sustain that for an extended period of time.

Why did they need millions? The house in TN was sub $300k when they bought it. The point I'm making, and, for some reason, you keep ignoring, is that Jack makes passive income from his youtube library, likely enough to cover his own expenses. For some reason you're also ignoring that, as I've pointed out, Jack's stay at the nursing home was covered by his insurance - we know this as Jack was forced to leave once the insurance money ran out. Their finances aren't just Tammy's alone. Its a combination of the passive income Jack makes from his channel, the money Tammy makes, the profit they made from the previous house, (likely) a small amount of rent paid by Jr and Brianna for the other house, and any other income streams we don't know about. They also won't have a mortgage, so their mandatory outgoings are considerably less than the average family. DSP manages to spend something like $5,000 p/m on WWE Champions, yet still has enough money to make sure that he, and more importantly, Kat, continues to get fatter and fatter despite them being a single-income family in Seattle.

Jr and Brianna are idiots, but Jr, and presumably Brianna have jobs. They probably waste the majority of their money on dumb shit, but they should be able to manage living paycheck to paycheck.

The only ways this works out is if someone like Tammy's parents are footing the bill for a bunch of this crap(obviously not the $100 chinese meat grinders and shit), or somehow their various givemethis/that/whatever companies that Tammy runs are somehow doing more business than we could possibly imagine(and this seems like a hell of a long shot especially since there's never any discussion on those FB pages or anywhere about actually having clients).

Like 90% of the dumb shit we see him acquiring is given to him for free. I'm sure he buys more, but given that they won't pay for a mortgage, they can absorb the cost of it.

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.

 

[Falcon Sebben]

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.

 

[Spasticus Autisticus]

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.

$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.

 

[Polska krowa]

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.

 

[p1138]

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.

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.
