**Making Money with Shipt and Instacart**

I've been thinking about my finances a lot lately, and I've come to realize that there are ways to make some extra money on the side. One of the methods I've decided to explore is working as a delivery driver for services like Shipt and Instacart. These companies allow individuals to shop for customers at local retailers such as Target, and then deliver the items to the customer's doorstep.

I genuinely enjoy doing Shipt because I love shopping at Target. I think it's great that I can help someone in need by providing them with what they need, especially when they're short on time. For example, one night at 9:99 p.m., I received a request from a customer who needed COVID tests at Target. The store was only 10 minutes away from me, so I was able to drop off the order and bring it back home quickly. The customer ended up tipping me $11 for my time, which was a nice surprise. This experience has shown me that making money with Shipt can be easy and rewarding.

I plan on creating videos about my experiences with Shipt and Instacart in the near future. I want to share my journey with these services and show others how they work. While there may not be a lot of money to be made, I believe it's a decent way to earn some extra cash on the side. By sharing my experiences and tips, I hope to help others who may be interested in working for Shipt or Instacart.

**Saving Up for My Next Car**

One of my goals for 2024 is to save up money to buy my next car. As it turns out, I'll be turning in my lease for a Tesla Model 3 in June. Although I love my current car, I don't drive as much as I used to, and the mileage isn't reflecting on my lease payments. Instead of continuing to pay a lot of money on a car that I'm not using as much, I've decided to extend my lease until December. This will give me time to save up for a new car.

I want to buy a used Tesla Model 3 with low mileage, which will be more financially wise than buying a brand new car. The battery life is also an important consideration for me, as it can affect the cost of maintenance and replacement. However, I do miss driving my current car, and I'm excited to see what other options are available in the used market.

**My Plans for 2024**

For 2024, I want to focus on saving up money to buy my next car. I plan on earning extra income through various means, including streaming and selling merchandise, as well as working with Shipt and Instacart. By diversifying my sources of income, I hope to be able to save up enough money to afford a new car that fits my budget.

I also want to make sure that I'm prepared for the future by saving up for unexpected expenses and emergencies. This will give me peace of mind and allow me to focus on achieving my long-term goals. Overall, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year, and I'm looking forward to seeing what opportunities come my way.

**A Message to My Audience**

I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Without your engagement and enthusiasm, I wouldn't be here today, feeling lightheaded from sitting in front of a computer for too long without eating lunch. I love doing this type of content because it allows me to share my passions and connect with like-minded individuals.

I also want to ask you: what are your plans for 2024? Are there any goals or aspirations that you'd like to achieve? I'd love to hear about them in the comments below, and maybe we can even support each other on our journeys. Happy New Year, everyone!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everybody how you doing today my name is David Franco and welcome to my first video ever for 2024 happy New Year everybody I hope you're having a fantastic start to the New Year and I hope you're sticking to your goals cuz let's be honest we as human beings are kind of designed to get really excited about something and then we fall off in like a few weeks and trust me I'm speaking from personal experience we've all been there we've all said we're going to go to the gym or we're going to build this we're going to do that but by the time February or March comes around or maybe even like January 15th we're kind of like falling back into our old ways and honestly guys I'm just here to tell you this I'm going to try my best to not fall back on my old ways not that my old ways is like really a bad thing I mean I think I'm a pretty well-rounded person with good goals and I've typically achieved goals that I've chased for Years anyway the point is just focus on your goals and try to be the best version of yourself throughout the next 12 months and of course improve year after year because we only get one shot at life guys make it worth it okay so with all that aside welcome guys this is my annual goals video where I talk about everything I want to hopefully accomplish in the next 12 months now technically I did make a video like this last year for 2023 but I uploaded it to creative finance and I don't know you know I'm I'm just going to come out and say guys creative Finance was fun I mean I honestly dedicated an entire year of content creation and so many hours of my time to Growing that channel but I'll be honest with you right now I'll be upfront with you I don't think I have what it takes to build a new YouTube channel I honestly don't I've tried to build a gaming channel yeah it was fun I tried to build a second Channel like creative Finance yeah that was fun as as well and I created over 100 videos on that channel and I'm damn proud of that channel you know and honestly I don't ever see myself removing that content because just in case it's there hey check it out it's free why not but moving into 2024 I'm telling myself David just focus on what's already working you have an audience of over 180,000 subscribers not everybody can say that so guys I'm going to take advantage of that I'm going to come back to my primary Channel which honestly I've always been mostly focused on and just focus on that you know I'm not going to worry about a secondary Channel or anything like that because things are working well for me uh but at the same time I want things to work even more well for me throughout this year so with that said I am calling for me 2024 the year of new and old okay so before I get into my goals for 2024 I would like to quickly reflect on 2023 2023 got to tell you guys I was not a big fan of it and I'm not typically one of those people who just says oh this year sucked it was the worst year of my life I hated everything about it cuz I'm not that kind of guy I'm an optimistic half glassful kind of person you know I like to look at things optimistically and positively that's just how I was raised as a human being however I'll be honest with you 2023 I was not the biggest fan of it financially speaking it was by far my most stressful year I've ever dealt with in regards to paying taxes uh because in 2020 2 I absolutely made a killing on eBay I sold over $20,000 in sales and that hit me hard for taxes and I'm not going to talk about details right now cuz honestly it doesn't matter cuz it's a year old by now and I've talked about it plenty in the weekend Vlogs P's only Vlogs my live streams all that stuff um but the good news is 2024 for me is looking better and I'm much better prepared for taxes because I didn't sell nearly as much on eBay and yeah I get it David don't you you want to sell more of course but with eBay you pay so much money in regards to selling fees and taxes and shipping cost and all that stuff so for me I just didn't see much come out of that $20,000 plus sales um so it just wasn't really worth focusing on that throughout 2023 also not going to lie I had some dark thoughts in 2023 I'm not going to go into details cuz I don't know if I was going through like a depression or whatever but I felt like I was failing and my biggest fear in life is not dying my biggest fear in life is failure if I fail at doing something I love such as my YouTube career or patreon or something like that then I honestly feel like I'm a worthless human being I I I know those are bold and attention seeking words but believe me I'm not saying that to seek your attention that's just how I view life that's how I view my job this stuff is so critically important to me that if at some point I do fail then what else do I have besides family of course I'm just talking from a professional perspective um so I am going to try my hardest throughout 2024 to have things remain consistent and thankfully patreon for me has been incredibly consistent and I am so thankful for each and every one of my patrons seriously you guys have quite literally changed my life I'm not just saying that they're not just words you have changed my life I'm in this house because of patreon so thank you so much and obviously that's going to be a big goal of mine going um you know into 2024 I mean as it always is because I always like to create Vlogs okay and I'm looking at my iPhone on the side cuz stupid me didn't copy and paste my notes over to notion so I have to use my tiny little iPhone screen from way over here okay so let's focus on 2024 guys um again I said I want to focus on the new and old and by this I mean I want to create content that reflects the old M I want to create new content uh that reflects the old M and guys I promise watching this video in its entirety will help make that statement make sense I want to make new talking head videos using my old style now I have proudly talked about this in weekend Vlogs and I'll say it right now I'm never going to change for the YouTube algorithm um in regards to being overly enthusiastic throwing huge captions on screen giving you fast transitions from clip to clip that's not me I mean yeah now and then I'll have some fun with editing and yes I'm always up for growing and adapting but I will never ever become one of those creators who starts shouting at you on camera and throwing up huge words on screens can you believe this happened stay tuned toward the end of the video to find out how I made $5,000 in 24 hours that's not me that will never ever be me if you haven't noticed I never ever clickbait you and honestly that's probably why My Views are lower than they used to be I hate the idea of clickbaiting I was not raised to bait people into getting something that they were promised and then they were like oh well that kind of sucks I hate clickbait uh for example a little while ago I came across this YouTuber I forget his name but he basically said he opened up a video game store of his own and his thumbnail showed him out ins side of a large store like Target but he put his branding on top of that store so I clicked a video I'm like wow how the hell can this guy afford a huge Department type store um selling video games so I clicked on the video out of curiosity and what do you know he set up a little corner In Like A Mom and Pop Shop which was nothing like his thumbnail and that really pissed me off that that annoyed the hell out of me the fact that someone like him can bait people into clicking his video watching ads and making more money off of a lie I will never ever become a Creator like that and I swear I'm not mad right now I'm just passionate you know I I try to be a transparent positive truthful kind of person that's how I was raised by my parents Mom Dad I love you thank you for raising me the way you did how people behave on YouTube and outside of YouTube Just it blows my mind sometimes and I'm like how how can you act like that and actually go to bed feeling like a good person and I realized some people were like David it's just YouTube no it's not just YouTube everything you do online is a direct reflection of you and your personality and your morals and your ethics so I will always be myself I will never ever change for the YouTube algorithm um because that's just not me and guys honestly if it means failing on YouTube then so be it I will never ever change of course in the regard of being being a dishonest person obviously I'm up for adapting and trying new things to my content that's not what I'm saying I'm just saying I'm never going to go down that rabbit hole of becoming a dishonest content creator that's the best way I can put it that actually came out really well okay so the videos I want to create um they can be about anything my personal life my view on the current tech industry gaming guys I want to create so many talking head Style videos where I just sit down in my gaming room where I am right now uh my office downstairs maybe outside my parents house down the shore wherever you like I I just want to sit down and be the old me I don't want to have to worry about over-the-top editing and stuff like that cuz I feel like I have a lot of interesting thoughts and topics to talk about um so guys if you want to hear me talk about something I am proud to announce this starting this week link right below on my Discord I have a channel dedicated to video requests so if you want to hear me talk about the latest video games or the latest tech or some personal things that I've dealt with in the past just ask you know just ask and of course I'll give you a shout out so it's a win-win okay next now I got to keep this so much short cuz I still have to eat lunch my live streams are going to be bigger and better than ever now what do I mean by that I'm going back to TW I'm just kidding I'm not going back to Twitch I will never ever go back to Twitch I kind of laugh because twitch is a great platform but it's not for me there is no growth potential whatsoever it is so overly saturated and I'm also laughing because it's no secret on this channel guys I have flip flapped many times I have gone from streaming platform to streaming platform I've gone from twitch to YouTube from YouTube to mixer back to Twitch uh to kick and now starting this week and if everything goes according to plan starting this Friday I'm going to be multi streaming on both kick and YouTube yes my kick streams are not going anywhere shout out to kick guys I am honestly extremely happy with your platform I have seen a lot of growth potential on Kick um which I've never really witnessed on Twitch at least consistently guys to give you a good idea of the viewership I receive on Kick a good night brings me like 50 to 60 viewers concurrently on Twitch a good night was normally like 20 to 30 viewers so I'm quite literally doubling my numbers on kick but kick is a far far smaller platform than twitch far smaller than twitch so do you see what I'm saying here it's a lot smaller than twitch but it's big enough to experience growth uh because it's easier to reach people uh so I'm happy to say this guys I'm not leaving kick anytime soon if ever if anything I'm going to expand the audiences I reach uh because I have a YouTube audience guys and and let's be honest some people don't feel like going to kick or installing kick on their phone or whatever you know like I want to reach you on YouTube and you're already on YouTube watching this video so the only thing you have to do is look on the left side of your screen right and say oh wow David the Franco's live maybe I'll tune in for an hour or two and that's what's so cool about streaming live on YouTube it's just integrated it's there you don't have to think about it too much uh so for the first time ever in my streaming career I'm actually going to take multi streaming quite seriously I have a unified chat on my left monitor over here I have new alert set up I have a um chat overlay that you're going to see below my face cam when I'm live okay so let's say for example you're watching on KCK you're still going to see people chatting within my stream window on YouTube and vice versa that way people know I'm multistreaming and if I'm answering someone on YouTube and you're own kick well I mean this means you're not going to miss out on those questions or comments or feedback or anything like that and guys I'm very very very excited um now I realized streaming on YouTube is going to take a small percentage of my kick viewership away and that's fine that's fine because obviously what like probably 99% of my viewers on Kick are already on YouTube and sometimes it's more convenient to watch on YouTube guys I'm always watching live streams on my Xbox series X and Xbox series s using the YouTube app because I don't go on YouTube to watch someone live I usually open up YouTube to watch videos and then I'm like oh so and so's live and I end up watching them for like an hour two hours five hours and well that's why I think it's so great so there you go guys I am multi streaming on both kick and YouTube and I'm so excited to reach even more people and plus I already have memberships active on YouTube so this means if you're already a member on YouTube first of all thank you uh this also means that you get access to my emotes it's just my lady's face CU God forbid you don't have access to that so guys check me out kick.com davidf Franco and well I don't have to link my YouTube because you're already on YouTube thank you so much oh and of course stay tuned guys because I will be setting up my green screen soon uh which is going I know finally I've had it for like two years it's been sitting in the corner but mine is kind of unique it actually attaches to the ceiling so I need a little helping hand with that Dad what's up Dad um I'm just not good with that kind of stuff so he's going to come over soon and we're going to find some studs even though there's a stud right here here I know I know um and we're going to set up the green screen where it retracts from the stealing guys it's so cool and while this is going to allow even greater immersion for games like Spider-Man 2 Super Mario RPG and Sonic Superstars and of course war zone fortnite valerant all that stuff so guys stay tuned 2024 is going to be a big year of streaming for me and I'm so excited to get started okay and now a few notes that I want to talk about just some smaller SL bigger things I want to focus on throughout 2024 but I don't want to bore you with too many details first of all square.com that's squarep x.com I actually launched this on November 1st 2023 I haven't talked about it too much but it's a website I built myself my first ever e-commerce store powered by Squarespace where I'm selling premium Squarespace templates yes I'm actually selling Squarespace templates I'm so excited about this um I'm selling templates for small businesses uh music artists podcasters bloggers so guys check it out it is linked right below and while as of today I have eight templates which isn't a lot but I'm planning on focusing on that Big Time throughout 2024 and I'll talk about that more in detail in future videos all right next point the return of selling merch maybe now honestly I don't feel like I'm big enough like Dr disrespect or Dr Lup or anyone like that to sell a ton of merch but I do have a big enough audience where there has been some some demand lately for instance in my kick streams I've had people ask recently David are you bringing back merch um and well to answer that question yes uh I mean I figured why not guys people ask about it I mean if there's demand then I have to supply supply and demand right uh so I'm happy to say that sometime in 2024 I will be bringing back merch um and I'm so excited so stay tuned and what's next I'm going to be making videos about both shipped and instacart now if you don't know what both those services are they're kind of like door Dash but for like groceries and places like Target and I've already made I think about roughly $150 to $200 on shipped which isn't a lot of money but I haven't really been focusing on it too much I've only done like I think 11 or 12 orders but guys I genuinely enjoy doing shipped because I love Target I love the idea of shopping for Target uh customers and I love the idea of helping someone for for example I think one night like 99 9:30 p.m. I got a request in um somebody needed a bunch of covid tests at Target and Target's like 10 minutes for me so I was like okay I'll go out and do this it was like an $8 $9 order for me you know I mean it's not a lot of money and it was literally bringing me back home the customer lives like 2 minutes from me which is awesome um so I dropped off the order and the guy tipped me like $11 for something that took me like 10 15 minutes of my time Easy Money guys easy money and I'm definitely planning on making videos about Shi and insta carts in the near future so let me know would you like to see some ride along videos um this is by no means a primary source of income nor should it be for you because honestly there's not a ton of money in it uh but in my opinion it's a decent source of side income um so I figured why not make videos about it and last but not least I forgot to put this in my notes I am going to be turning in my 2021 Tesla Model 3 this year very sad to say that but my lease is up in June uh but you can extend the lease up to 6 months so I'm going to extend it up until I guess December right uh so I have roughly speaking a year left a little less than a year left with my model 3 uh so a big goal of mine throughout 2024 is to save up money for my down payment on my next car and I think I'm going to be buying a used Tesla I love my mod 3 by far the best car I've ever owned again it's a lease and that's going to be a sad day when I turn that in cuz I legit love driving that car it is so much fun it's just a joy to ride it's absolutely filled with tech I love the mobile app even though it's not perfect it has issues but man what a great car what a great car but the money I'm paying right now honestly doesn't reflect the mileage that I put on every single day or week or month or whatever so in other words I still want a Tesla Model 3 but I think I'm going to buy a used one by the time I leases up and honestly I think that's the perfect and more financially wise route to take because I don't drive enough I work from home I don't commute every single day like the average person does uh but at the same time I don't want to lose my love for Tesla and model 3 and all that stuff so I think I am going to be buying a used one with low mileage of course nothing too high cuz I don't want to have to replace the battery anytime soon cuz that in itself is like half the cost of the car it's pretty insane uh but anyway that's just a loose thought I'm throwing out there I definitely want to save up money throughout 2024 um so all this extra streaming and the merch I'm doing and shipped it instacart a lot of that money will be put aside for my next car um so I think that's a good plan anyway guys those are my plans for 2024 where are we on time wow okay this video video is going to be pretty long it's going be about like 20 minutes long roughly thank you so much for your continued support guys I love you I love your support I mean if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be sitting here for 20 minutes straight feeling lightheaded cuz I haven't had lunch yet I do this for you and of course I do it for myself because I like seeing myself grow and try new things um but it's just fun you know I love doing this sort of thing I love my gaming room I love my house and I have you guys to thank for that so guys finally thank you so much for your support happy New Year and also let's make this about you as well let me know three things that you want to achieve throughout 2024 let's make this year a great one thank you very much Happy New Year once again and I'll talk to you soon I'll see you livewhat's up everybody how you doing today my name is David Franco and welcome to my first video ever for 2024 happy New Year everybody I hope you're having a fantastic start to the New Year and I hope you're sticking to your goals cuz let's be honest we as human beings are kind of designed to get really excited about something and then we fall off in like a few weeks and trust me I'm speaking from personal experience we've all been there we've all said we're going to go to the gym or we're going to build this we're going to do that but by the time February or March comes around or maybe even like January 15th we're kind of like falling back into our old ways and honestly guys I'm just here to tell you this I'm going to try my best to not fall back on my old ways not that my old ways is like really a bad thing I mean I think I'm a pretty well-rounded person with good goals and I've typically achieved goals that I've chased for Years anyway the point is just focus on your goals and try to be the best version of yourself throughout the next 12 months and of course improve year after year because we only get one shot at life guys make it worth it okay so with all that aside welcome guys this is my annual goals video where I talk about everything I want to hopefully accomplish in the next 12 months now technically I did make a video like this last year for 2023 but I uploaded it to creative finance and I don't know you know I'm I'm just going to come out and say guys creative Finance was fun I mean I honestly dedicated an entire year of content creation and so many hours of my time to Growing that channel but I'll be honest with you right now I'll be upfront with you I don't think I have what it takes to build a new YouTube channel I honestly don't I've tried to build a gaming channel yeah it was fun I tried to

throughout this year so with that said I am calling for me 2024 the year of new and old okay so before I get into my goals for 2024 I would like to quickly reflect on 2023 2023 got to tell you guys I

right below on my Discord I have a channel dedicated to video requests so if you want to hear me talk about the latest video games or the latest tech or some personal things that I've dealt with in the past just ask you know just ask and of course I'll give you a shout out so it's a win-win okay next now I got to keep this so much short cuz I still have to eat lunch my live streams are going to be bigger and better than ever now what do I mean by that I'm going back to TW I'm just kidding I'm not going back to Twitch I will never ever go back to Twitch I kind of laugh because twitch is a great platform but it's not for me there is no growth potential whatsoever it is so overly saturated and I'm also laughing because it's no secret on this channel guys I have flip flapped many times I have gone from streaming platform to streaming platform I've gone from twitch to YouTube from YouTube to mixer back to Twitch uh to kick and now starting this week and if everything goes according to plan starting this Friday I'm going to be multi streaming on both kick and YouTube yes my kick streams are not going anywhere shout out to kick guys I am honestly extremely happy with your platform I have seen a lot of growth potential on Kick um which I've never really witnessed on Twitch at least consistently guys to give you a good idea of the viewership I receive on Kick a good night brings me like 50 to 60 viewers concurrently on Twitch a good night was normally like 20 to 30 viewers so I'm quite literally doubling my numbers on kick but kick is a far far smaller platform than twitch far smaller than twitch so do you see what I'm saying here it's a lot smaller than twitch but it's big enough to experience growth uh because it's easier to reach people uh so I'm happy to say this guys I'm not leaving kick anytime soon if ever if anything I'm going to expand the audiences I reach uh because I have a YouTube audience guys and and let's be honest some people don't feel like going to kick or installing kick on their phone or whatever you know like I want to reach you on YouTube and you're already on YouTube watching this video so the only thing you have to do is look on the left side of your screen right and say oh wow David the Franco's live maybe I'll tune in for an hour or two and that's what's so cool about streaming live on YouTube it's just integrated it's there you don't have to think about it too much uh so for the first time ever in my streaming career I'm actually going to take multi streaming quite seriously I have a unified chat on my left monitor over here I have new alert set up I have a um chat overlay that you're going to see below my face cam when I'm live okay so let's say for example you're watching on KCK you're still going to see people chatting within my stream window on YouTube and vice versa that way people know I'm multistreaming and if I'm answering someone on YouTube and you're own kick well I mean this means you're not going to miss out on those questions or comments or feedback or anything like that and guys I'm very very very excited um now I realized streaming on YouTube is going to take a small percentage of my kick viewership away and that's fine that's fine because obviously what like probably 99% of my viewers on Kick are already on YouTube and sometimes it's more convenient to watch on YouTube guys I'm always watching live streams on my Xbox series X and Xbox series s using the YouTube app because I don't go on YouTube to watch someone live I usually open up YouTube to watch videos and then I'm like oh so and so's live and I end up watching them for like an hour two hours five hours and well that's why I think it's so great so there you go guys I am multi streaming on both kick and YouTube and I'm so excited to reach even more people and plus I already have memberships active on YouTube so this means if you're already a member on YouTube first of all thank you uh this also means that you get access to my emotes it's just my lady's face CU God forbid you don't have access to that so guys check me out kick.com davidf Franco and well I don't have to link my YouTube because you're already on YouTube thank you so much oh and of course stay tuned guys because I will be setting up my green screen soon uh which is going I know finally I've had it for like two years it's been sitting in the corner but mine is kind of unique it actually attaches to the ceiling so I need a little helping hand with that Dad what's up Dad um I'm just not good with that kind of stuff so he's going to come over soon and we're going to find some studs even though there's a stud right here here I know I know um and we're going to set up the green screen where it retracts from the stealing guys it's so cool and while this is going to allow even greater immersion for games like Spider-Man 2 Super Mario RPG and Sonic Superstars and of course war zone fortnite valerant all that stuff so guys stay tuned 2024 is going to be a big year of streaming for me and I'm so excited to get started okay and now a few notes that I want to talk about just some smaller SL bigger things I want to focus on throughout 2024 but I don't want to bore you with too many details first of all square.com that's squarep x.com I actually launched this on November 1st 2023 I haven't talked about it too much but it's a website I built myself my first ever e-commerce store powered by Squarespace where I'm selling premium Squarespace templates yes I'm actually selling Squarespace templates I'm so excited about this um I'm selling templates for small businesses uh music artists podcasters bloggers so guys check it out it is linked right below and while as of today I have eight templates which isn't a lot but I'm planning on focusing on that Big Time throughout 2024 and I'll talk about that more in detail in future videos all right next point the return of selling merch maybe now honestly I don't feel like I'm big enough like Dr disrespect or Dr Lup or anyone like that to sell a ton of merch but I do have a big enough audience where there has been some some demand lately for instance in my kick streams I've had people ask recently David are you bringing back merch um and well to answer that question yes uh I mean I figured why not guys people ask about it I mean if there's demand then I have to supply supply and demand right uh so I'm happy to say that sometime in 2024 I will be bringing back merch um and I'm so excited so stay tuned and what's next I'm going to be making videos about both shipped and instacart now if you don't know what both those services are they're kind of like door Dash but for like groceries and places like Target and I've already made I think about roughly $150 to $200 on shipped which isn't a lot of money but I haven't really been focusing on it too much I've only done like I think 11 or 12 orders but guys I genuinely enjoy doing shipped because I love Target I love the idea of shopping for Target uh customers and I love the idea of helping someone for for example I think one night like 99 9:30 p.m. I got a request in um somebody needed a bunch of covid tests at Target and Target's like 10 minutes for me so I was like okay I'll go out and do this it was like an $8 $9 order for me you know I mean it's not a lot of money and it was literally bringing me back home the customer lives like 2 minutes from me which is awesome um so I dropped off the order and the guy tipped me like $11 for something that took me like 10 15 minutes of my time Easy Money guys easy money and I'm definitely planning on making videos about Shi and insta carts in the near future so let me know would you like to see some ride along videos um this is by no means a primary source of income nor should it be for you because honestly there's not a ton of money in it uh but in my opinion it's a decent source of side income um so I figured why not make videos about it and last but not least I forgot to put this in my notes I am going to be turning in my 2021 Tesla Model 3 this year very sad to say that but my lease is up in June uh but you can extend the lease up to 6 months so I'm going to extend it up until I guess December right uh so I have roughly speaking a year left a little less than a year left with my model 3 uh so a big goal of mine throughout 2024 is to save up money for my down payment on my next car and I think I'm going to be buying a used Tesla I love my mod 3 by far the best car I've ever owned again it's a lease and that's going to be a sad day when I turn that in cuz I legit love driving that car it is so much fun it's just a joy to ride it's absolutely filled with tech I love the mobile app even though it's not perfect it has issues but man what a great car what a great car but the money I'm paying right now honestly doesn't reflect the mileage that I put on every single day or week or month or whatever so in other words I still want a Tesla Model 3 but I think I'm going to buy a used one by the time I leases up and honestly I think that's the perfect and more financially wise route to take because I don't drive enough I work from home I don't commute every single day like the average person does uh but at the same time I don't want to lose my love for Tesla and model 3 and all that stuff so I think I am going to be buying a used one with low mileage of course nothing too high cuz I don't want to have to replace the battery anytime soon cuz that in itself is like half the cost of the car it's pretty insane uh but anyway that's just a loose thought I'm throwing out there I definitely want to save up money throughout 2024 um so all this extra streaming and the merch I'm doing and shipped it instacart a lot of that money will be put aside for my next car um so I think that's a good plan anyway guys those are my plans for 2024 where are we on time wow okay this video video is going to be pretty long it's going be about like 20 minutes long roughly thank you so much for your continued support guys I love you I love your support I mean if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be sitting here for 20 minutes straight feeling lightheaded cuz I haven't had lunch yet I do this for you and of course I do it for myself because I like seeing myself grow and try new things um but it's just fun you know I love doing this sort of thing I love my gaming room I love my house and I have you guys to thank for that so guys finally thank you so much for your support happy New Year and also let's make this about you as well let me know three things that you want to achieve throughout 2024 let's make this year a great one thank you very much Happy New Year once again and I'll talk to you soon I'll see you live\n"
