How'd They Get Their Money? How do YOU think Jay and Tim managed to survive while on the run? I personally agree with Tim Sutton's theory that Jay's been living off of student loans, but I also think that he got money from the channel. Because who wouldn't use that fame for something?

Tim sporadically held a job and I like to think that the Operator is Jay's projection of his crippling guilt from stealing student loans.

I just assumed Jay had insurance and got paid when his apartment burned down. Tim was holding down a steady job for at least a year before he fell back in with Jay, seemed to be living comfortably enough.

I firmly believe that Jay was basically a traveling weed salesmen.

I always liked the idea that he was a freelance writer; it would've helped pass all the downtime he had between entries.

I bet that Jay was on welfare the whole time.

Since he was a film student he may have done some freelance work here and there but considering how mundane and boring his life must have been before I'd imagine he must have had a load of money just lying there that he saved over the years and never thought what to do with it.

Embrace the mystery.
If not about Troy's statement that the visuals tell a lot of the story answer many more of the questions raised by the series, then about this.

Hey, Joseph literally said at that convention that Jay sells drugs (only partially taken out of context)

This & the weed thing are currently my favorite theories in this thread.

Joseph saying, "Let me properly put this into context: Jay sells drugs."
I don't see how he'd fuckin' have the time, always being hunted by the eldritch abom and Alex...

Oh, I don't know; considering how much time there seemed to be between entries, I always thought Jay had a lot of downtime. I guess he could have sold something. And let's face it, how many of Jay's decisions could be explained by sampling the product?
Although, I'm pretty sure Joseph was joking when he said that.
