Fun Fact: my mom had no idea we had a social media account until about 3 months ago. One day out a lunch, a random group of people started yelling "IT'S THAT CHEAP GUY!" and asked to take pictures. And ya, I am still trying to prove to my mom that I am funny...baby steps.
"We decided to have this baby because we want a new character in this content and the cheapest way is to make your own character in for you content" this line right here made my day
Already raised up the standards for Asian comedians not using self depreciating jokes. Also: "because we have full-time jobs and live a simple life we have the luxury to choose which brand we want to work with" it's so humble compared to other influencers and tiktokers.

I’m impressed with the diversity of professions he’s had. He played a sport professionally, started his own company in the hardware/software space, and is now producing profitable social media videos. It’s rare to see someone successfully reinvent themselves so many times.
Love Jay’s content, and now I respect him as a person too. I speak for everyone when I say I’m tired of egomaniacs that dominate social content; it’s refreshing to see humble, frugal, and 100% confidence about it.

Love that you chose to be frugal from your private highschool experience vs being superficial and trying to "compete" on things that don't matter like flashy logos, cars or dumb things that don't really bring value into someone's life.
I was checking out their budget pie chart. Being able to live with mom saves them tons of money. No need to worry about mortgage, home insurance, property taxes, maintenance or repairs!
I used to think that an adult child should not live at home. But now I'm a father and given the cost of housing I've changed my mind. No son or daughter of mine is going to be a permanent renter. You see a lot of young people in the bay area with good incomes but no assets. $120k a year in bay area is just ok.
I live in San Jose my income is 130k and it blows my mind that it’s just enough for me my wife and daughter I heard a total house income in the Bay Area less then 150k is low income so I’m guessing I’m low income lol
I'm 28 and moved back in to start saving. My folks are fine with it. You're making the right decision. What worked in the 70s no longer works in 2021. I would absolutely be a permanent renter.
I agree but I do believe in children paying a bit of rent. If you let them live rent free completely then they get used to their full salary as disposable. If you are making 120k, you could contribute 500 to rent to your parents and then use the rest to pay off loans or save up for a house of your own.
It would be epic when they start covering how some broke people survive, managing to live in good health, zero debt, tight budgets, little to no savings, invisible to society but somehow make it through every single day with no complains. Those are the MVPs, their survival is pure luck and God's grace.
I don't go on TikTok anymore, but I absolutely adore this couple's content. It's witty and funny. Never ceased to put a smile on my face. I didn't know they lived in Sunnyvale!
Just for clarity, a friend of mine lives in Sunnyvale, his rent for a one bedroom 500 square foot house is $2500 per month, utilities including trash, electric and gas, and water is about $600.
Oh man, Jay and his wife are amazing and absolutely funny. They put in a lot of hard work for each video, even their shortest ones and they are all great. Keep up the good work lol

So if he held on and didn't sell his Bitcoin and waited till it went back up then he would be ok again no? Sorry for the boob comments lol
So glad to see the stigmas around living with your parents reducing in the west. Honestly, if you have a good relationship with them and are actually contributing to the household I don't see why this should be an issue.
i’m 23 and living with grandparents now, i was living on my own with my ex in california and i was dirt broke, working three jobs to pay my rent and going to school to full time, thank u for being honest Jay, now i don’t feel as bad living with family, im able to travel, im trying to save money i just have a few expenses… but thanks for the inspo!
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2025
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

By having his company pay for his car, not having any rent, and not having any student loans because he got D1 scholarships, this guy has basically hacked the system. He barely has any bills.

I saw this man's video on TH-cam - it was a skit generally about the mailman and his pregnant wife and it was hilarious and I followed them after that. Nice to see them here!
…these guys are simply fantastic and made me appreciate those early sacrifices and efforts I made on frugality that were not a popular choice.

Jay and Sharon, your content motivates me, and watching this interview (seeing into your passion, why you started and how you got to where you are) just leaves a huge impression on me. I am motivated, inspired and challenged. Keep doing you folks, I love your family big time.
Here 2 years later and their baby is indeed a comedian in the making, and theyre now expecting their second child! Religiously watch their videos, they never fail to put a smile on my face
Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as stock, EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE
Dealing across multiple asset classes can reduce risk more effectively than putting all of your money into one. If you don't understand finances properly, see a financial consultant.
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
Yeah I won’t lie, being able to live with my parents after college I was able to throw a lot into investments as well, not paying rent is really the key if the money saved is used wisely. Many people end up buying houses/living alone early, end up with nothing saved.
Well buying home early is different from moving out and renting early. If you buy, at least you are building equity and can probably sell the house for more than you paid for it later. Renting tho... you are just helping the landlord with their mortgage or putting money in their pocket.
@@edwink1467 Not sure what you are saying, I don’t pay rent at all. It’s also hard to tell if you are buying home value at peak or not, not worth it I don’t buy homes to make profit, that’s why my money is in investments instead. I can buy my parents a home fully paid off doing what I am doing
Super lucky. I'm a dental lab tech, and I make 1500 a month part time which is about a third of what I should make but it's a trade off as i learn on the job, make my own hours and have my dad as my boss so it's a trade off not everyone has that tho. Keep up the great work Jay and Sharon.
I think living in Silicon Valley, the biggest financial burden is rent/mortgage, luckilyJay grow up there so him or his family probably already paid off the house…
He is right, unlike West there is no stigma around living with the parents..the typical family structure is joint sometimes with 10 or more members in the same house. Infact it's the other way round, if u choose to stay far from ur parent in the same city without any solid reason, u r viewed as selfish and uncaring for the aging parent particularly if u r a son. Jay puts out content unlike any I have watched. Wishing him n Sharon best for the future.
This guy gonna be a billionaire In 20 years. Just watch. Very motivated, I’m just like him except I pay rent and don’t have a kid, and he drives a Tesla while I drive a 2006 tsx. We both same salary but definitely he will out grow me especially once his company gets acquired by a big tech. Good luck bro.
He lives with his mom and pays no bills my dude...Tesla are nothing special an are the same sometimes lower in pricing then an average car, it cost 40$ to charge a tesla to go 200miles when 40$ gets you well over 400miles In a gas/hybrid car. Nothing smart is going on here...

I didn’t even know he owns a startup with 5 million in series A funding. That’s crazy!
Halfway through the video I realized I went to high school and unspoken college(#1) with this guy! Glad life is treating you well Jay!
oh which one?? Gunn??
same here, realized i played basketball against him. (i went to shcp)
@@TeamMystic851 jay went to mitty hs
Jay and Sharon, your content motivates me, and watching this interview (seeing into your passion, why you started and how you got to where you are) just leaves a huge impression on me. I am motivated, inspired and challenged.
Keep doing you folks, I love your family big time.
This couple is so underrated! Love their content and their baby is so cute! Glad to see them featured on this platform
I’ve watched you and Sharon’s videos for a day now…. OMG. I love them. Brightens my day. Keep ‘em coming✔️❣️
It's very hard to look at his face, and took what he said seriously.
why is that
@@1.4billion65 what? You never watched his video?
when he said, he is not into branded clothing, I realized that he wasn't wearing supreme.
It's cheapreme ...
I am sure he is now making millions in youtube
Here 2 years later and their baby is indeed a comedian in the making, and theyre now expecting their second child! Religiously watch their videos, they never fail to put a smile on my face
This man never fails to entertain us even with something like an interview 😂
Ikr 🤣
Honestly, I'd need more information about his startup, but it sounds like he's making a good decision.
This guy is hilarious. His comedy is brilliant. I like how the Asian culture does family. Helping out goes both ways.

Jay: "judging by the photos, i mean, we're sure it's human."
Sharon: "are you sure?"
I learned so many life lessons from you Jay, I owe everything to you on my journey to being Cheap.
it’s weird to see him serious hahaa but this is so great. He’s smart, hardworking. Way to go
I would like to see more jay and Sharon youtube videos instead of the shorts. Love his sarcastic humor.
I honestly am a fan of Jay and Sharon but just seeing this he’s outlook on life is super!
In my opinion, these two are among the most intelligent people posting on the internet. Also great humans. I'd like to have friends like them
He's probably a multi millionaire now. This vid was 2 yrs ago, now their channel has blown up bigtime.
Jay is literally one of my my fav yt, I'm proud of him!
i like his joke,it's really funny.not like other asian comedian whom need depreciating race to make fun
I love that they’re sharing the drink. And can tell they’re both comfortable with it! ❤️💕 this is honestly goals.
im sure thats normal lol u must be really young
Sharing a drink...you know kissing covers that ground early. There's a lot more juice swapping later on too!
Theyre married why would they be uncomfortable
Do you realize how condescending “you must be really young sounds”, what are you one hundred thirty? 🤣
Diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as stock, EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health. Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE
Dealing across multiple asset classes can reduce risk more effectively than putting all of your money into one. If you don't understand finances properly, see a financial consultant.
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
I love Jay and his wife and their way of living.
Basketball. Tech startup. Social media. Talk about multi-passionate! Love it.
"Cheapest way to add a character to your content?" Bruh no.
Yeah I won’t lie, being able to live with my parents after college I was able to throw a lot into investments as well, not paying rent is really the key if the money saved is used wisely. Many people end up buying houses/living alone early, end up with nothing saved.
Well buying home early is different from moving out and renting early. If you buy, at least you are building equity and can probably sell the house for more than you paid for it later. Renting tho... you are just helping the landlord with their mortgage or putting money in their pocket.
@@edwink1467 Not sure what you are saying, I don’t pay rent at all. It’s also hard to tell if you are buying home value at peak or not, not worth it I don’t buy homes to make profit, that’s why my money is in investments instead. I can buy my parents a home fully paid off doing what I am doing
I spent about 30 minutes searching for this couples videos cause I saw one last week and thought it was extremely creative. Glad I found them.
Their shorts/tiktoks put out really great and unique humor out there. Kudos!
This guy is actually an inspiration.
"We need a new character in our content and that is the cheapest way to add a new member" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations on the up coming kid. I am shedding tears 😭
Super lucky. I'm a dental lab tech, and I make 1500 a month part time which is about a third of what I should make but it's a trade off as i learn on the job, make my own hours and have my dad as my boss so it's a trade off not everyone has that tho. Keep up the great work Jay and Sharon.
oh he's actually being serious. I assumed there was a super deep layer of irony I wasn't getting 🤣
I think living in Silicon Valley, the biggest financial burden is rent/mortgage, luckilyJay grow up there so him or his family probably already paid off the house…
Did this man say he’s having a baby for content lol
?! what? if thats true then this guy is trash
@@yukidejesus1956 it's obviously a joke
@@yukidejesus1956 nah his jokes r very satirical
@@yukidejesus1956 Why else would somebody have a baby?
I know I was in shock and disbelieve too 😅😅
congrats on the baby! Very happy to see you two thrive!
He is right, unlike West there is no stigma around living with the parents..the typical family structure is joint sometimes with 10 or more members in the same house. Infact it's the other way round, if u choose to stay far from ur parent in the same city without any solid reason, u r viewed as selfish and uncaring for the aging parent particularly if u r a son. Jay puts out content unlike any I have watched. Wishing him n Sharon best for the future.
Absolutely love Jay & Sharon, really thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love his humour 💜
This guy gonna be a billionaire In 20 years. Just watch. Very motivated, I’m just like him except I pay rent and don’t have a kid, and he drives a Tesla while I drive a 2006 tsx. We both same salary but definitely he will out grow me especially once his company gets acquired by a big tech. Good luck bro.
He lives with his mom and pays no bills my dude...Tesla are nothing special an are the same sometimes lower in pricing then an average car, it cost 40$ to charge a tesla to go 200miles when 40$ gets you well over 400miles In a gas/hybrid car. Nothing smart is going on here...
@@mrrod3004 soon electric car charging WILL be more expensive than gas. Secondly, he stated in the video, that he uses a free charging station.
@@memphisray8006 it already is. Charged yesla last week. It was 30 plus 9$ for idle charge whatever that is. That 200miles. I get 450 miles out my rav4 on 40bucks.
@@mrrod3004 in your original comment, you’re implying that for jay, owning a Tesla is way more expensive than a gasoline fueled car. For other people yes, but jay’s electricity charge is free for his Tesla, therefore saving him money.
Must be some awesome education he got from that private high school because basically he stopped learning in university. And then for him to get to where he is today doing a start up. That's just phenomenal!
Self-learning is extremely underated but i argued it's the single most important thing if you want to achieve success
@@workaccount2274 sure but he has to have a solid foundation in order to benefit from self learning.
took me wayyyyyyyyy to long to realize this is legit and not a skit...
It's so weird to hear him speaking sincerely lol
I stumbled upon their IG page three days ago and spent the next hour viewing all the vids. This guy is hilarious and he has the same frugal spending habits as I do (except splurging on food) 😄
They're both so hilarious, even in this interview!
i saw the thumbnail and laughed hahah, such an instantly recognizable face. I had to make sure this wasn't a joke video. jay and sharon's content never fails to make me laugh
just came across this interview.. love jay and sharons content especially now that they have a new character!!
It's so nice to see him be serious for a moment.
Sharing a large boba drink, that's when you know the couple is on the same financial page. haha. Hubby and I do the same.
Yea, but they spend $900/month eating out
me and my fiancee do the same if we arent craving anything too different
