for me you're the most sympathic hardware tester and you are not so exaggerated as many others out there on youtube. you are funny but also very professional.
wish you all the best

In this moment of my life, this video was so inspiring! Jay, if you're watching this, congrats on the courageous step and thank you for the inspiration! I'm new to your channel (and all pc building for that matter) and will sure keep an eye out for JayzTwoCents channel! Cheers!

Hello Jay, I am a 41 year old guy who is being rated as a loser and good for nothing by his own family (parents, siblings and relatives). I got a wife who is awesome and 2 lovely kids 7 and 3. I have left everything to walk on a path that i always wanted to but due to family pressure I never did. Seeing your video just made me smile and positive about taking sensible and more calculated risks moving towards my goals. I don't know if I will also experience the success that you did though already have wasted too much time and peak years. Thanks for being an inspiration for me.

And here you are sitting on 2.19M. Love your content Jayz!

I only found your channel recently and have been addicted since, I wanted to know more about where the channel came from and some background so watched this. Hearing you talk about just breaking 600K subs and been so unsure on whether you would even reach a million and now your on 3.87M was heart warming. Genuinely I don't think I have seen anyone on YouTube more deserving of the subs, income and life you have earned for yourself. I think I would watch you doing videos on anything as its not so much the content (which is always great anyway) but that your personality is just so relatable. Although I am very late to the party I am glad I finally found you and your channel bud. I know this video is 6 years old but I just had to comment as I was so moved by it. Wishing you and your family much continued success, health and happiness.

You're totally wearing a "I quit my job a year ago" shirt.

Man, Jay...
You've come a long way.
I'm happy for you. Truly.

I'm also very grateful you went down this path with YouTube.
You supply all of us with education, comedy, and comfort.
Thank you.

Live long. Stay strong.
I wish you the best.

Congratulations on having a stay at home wife, and having a family. I want that too.
It's hard to understand why some channels take off, and others don't, but I am glad yours worked.

Great example of making a plan and sticking with it. Not being impulsive, and going slow, def the way to go.

[nickackermanchannel]

Awesome video man! Well deserved! very inspiring reminded me a lot of myself YouTube has changed my life as well! I am ready for my workshop soon thank you for this video :)

[arturorojas]

Coming back to this video in 2021 and seeing you kept your promises about making your content exciting and engaging, not to mention informative af, shows a lot of integrity on your part. Thanks for staying true and educating the masses on tech

[Bytemybits]

Jay, I loved the moment you drilled through your motherboard and still showed it on video. I felt like it really showed how you work. Not afraid to take risks, and open/honest enough to share it with the world. Seeing that meant more to me than seeing a hundred, perfectly executed videos.

In the end, I look up to what you do and admire your dedication/balance with your family and your channel. Keep it up!

i quit my job 4 years ago due to Youtube. It's amazing. I have a lot more going on than just my YT channel though i branched out to a lot of other stuff but stuff i LOVE doing rather than my 9-5....that i had for 20 years. Congrats Jay.

[playersam]

I actually just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did.

I'm currently in the it field and seeing a fellow it guy making it gives me hope for myself.

I've been thinking about quitting lately too and your story about your resignation letter is perfect. tell your friend thank you from me because I'm gonna do that.

and thank you for sharing your story.

[wysetech]

I'm a 68 year old semi retired auto mechanic and computer enthusiast. I build and maintain computers for myself, friends and Family. I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and i am impressed with what you do. Your video's are clear, precise and generally just awesome. Keep on what you're doing and you will never stop being able to support your Family.

[StickyNinja]

Your genuine honesty is one of the key reasons I'm subscribed. I just wanted to say, thank you Jay.
