At 19% with 72 Months, I Begin the Reclaim of Credit after Debt Consolidation with Subaru CrosstrekNightly 🌙 Project Journey Man 🌙 Sights and Sounds

Good morning, everyone. It is now 6.06 a.m. day Saturday. So we're into the long holiday weekend, Labor Day weekend. Today is August the 30th, 2025. And I swear I blinked in August, just went away. I don't even, I don't even see it. It's just crazy how fast time goes by. But it's, we're getting into the fall. Looking forward to it. Lots of things happened yesterday, real exciting stuff. We now have a newer used car. First car purchase that I can remember that I've gone to a dealership. We had to go to the dealership that is like your last resort kind of dealership. You really have no credit.

And they were actually pretty cool. It worked out really good for us. The interest rate is 19%. and the loan term is 72 months so you know it's just out there but I've been in the debt consolidation we've talked about this from all the time national debt consolidation in order to go do all the gaming stuff I did over the years I had to go to at-home gaming school here and therefore I needed to take out a student loan and that was all my credit I used to get stuff to learn about stuff and all that so we're three and a half years

into debt consolidation the national debt consolidation which pretty awesome and we're winding down that i still got about another year i think a year and a half so now it was time to start trying to build some credit so and i at the same time i wanted to get my mother a car she's getting older something that's safer i don't have to worry about it uh not working and all that so we decided to go over to the dealership it's like your last resort dealership and see if we could get credit and we were able to get between my mothers and mine were able to get into a car pretty cool it's my mother always wanted Subaru I always wanted Subaru so we got a cross-track did a quick little 15 minute video of it I mean 15 a 30 second video but we'll do more about

it's all black we really didn't have much of a choice we had to get something that had to be under 100,000 miles had to be newer in order to get a loan so we couldn't get I would have got a really I would have got a really cheaper car but we went this direction so it's X amount per month which is doable but it's going to make it really really hard now but I'm going to buckle down and can buy anything else which is fine I get some other stuff I get tons of stuff to sell so so the car is done it's here we can get all a little bit. Let's get it all set up from all the other. The only thing about it was when we got it was completely black windows. Somebody tinted every single window except for the front. So in

Rhode Island you can't have that. So inspection is great now. We just have temporary plates on it. And so eventually they're going to call me up and we're going to have to get the regular registration and it has to be inspected. And that deal ship has to pull those tinted windows off because we can't see. And I'm worried. worried by my mother she doesn't want to drive it yet because she can't see it does have a rearview backup thing which is pretty cool so we went from zero technology in 2004 jeep liberty except for power windows that's about it in a radio to this one with backup camera and all kinds of it's a 2021 Subaru cross track that's what i got it's a basic model uh just has uh no leather seats

thank goodness inside it's just all vinyl seats some bells and whistles but for us it's you know a leap year ahead of what we're used to have i really haven't really and it's got all kinds of little things but but it's basic it's not there's a there's a so i went to my buddy zippy and typed in that year in the model and there is actually an advanced model that it would say limited or it would say um sport but this isn't it this is just basic It's all black, which is kind of not really something I really wanted, but we got us into a car and got us credit started. So it's pretty exciting. And it should be safe.

And it's unfortunately, I had to add full insurance. So of course, it's another thing that went way up. But I think we can squeeze it in. Hopefully we can't. Just got to allow you to do a lot more work now. All right. So let's see what's going on this morning. I didn't do any other videos besides a quick one of that.

So let's look around. So let's look around. The news here. Red Redemption 3, most anticipated game ever. Oh, that looks pretty wild. So the game's coming out at 2026. So it's just going to be pretty awesome. The games now are basically just the same.

hoping this I look to I go to my PlayStation go to the store click on the collection tab and then I go down the wish list then you can see the games that come in pretty awesome so I've played a game my switch two I may have to just resell it now saying I got always that car we'll just look at it a few more times oh i get the case came in today if i resell it with the case and everything and just say i had to switch to it one time really don't need it not really playing it i get all this stuff off now i'll get one down the road i just wanted to get one just to look at it i also have my meta quest uh three s Xbox position up for listed and having an offering on that at all

so interesting we will sell that it's up listed let's see a few sales yesterday or everything went out today's Saturday so it's something in the news that's really jumping out at me of course I always skip the doom and gloom that's for everybody else sees it all day all day all day let's go on to oh did a good on Project Journeyman last night. My brainwave scan is on its way, so we incorporated that into the sites last night. So we're pretty cool. Alright, let's go to Etsy. We've got a few orders in Etsy. We've got them out. Sold a couple things. So we had nine orders on Etsy, so that's pretty

awesome. I'll take that. I made one mistake. I put it in the wrong shipping box. Should have known better. the plane box says anything about batteries or anything or drill below the box is not that force will actually reset it back to me which is the first i'm not anything that's set back so we got re-sent out cost me an extra another shipping label so the few bucks i would have made off that order i lost but we took it back out of all right so let's just a mysterious object detected at edge of universe aliens are coming I think I think in my lifetime I'll see alien invasion but it's not going to end well for us at all as I said dream about all the time not going to end well it's going to be according to my

dreams I have so often about alien invasions is we're going to have to conform to their species we can still exist but we have to transform into them that would be our only option other than just annihilation so you get to choose if you want to exist in a different form but the fun part about that is you get you go into their form and it's not an easy transition it's going to be really awkward and disgusting transfer whatever that existence of theirs is but then you can travel around the you can go to different worlds and stuff but as as their species just have some of your mind left pretty interesting stuff i can put that all the time if you see

spaceships come to thing it's not an animal for us all right so um let's go on to Let's see. Oh, let's go to pushmark. Pretty much a dead weight. Except for a little bit of social media existence. Oh, I'm going to put another one. One thousand one hundred ninety followers. I think I'd fall over off my chair.

I actually sold something down here. It would be pretty awesome. pretty awesome but not same with my Shopify I really want to keep it I own another way to migrate programs over from eBay but I don't make sure I'm not paying for that because there's a problem is when you add something new you have to pay to add Shopify right now it's for three months or a dollar each you handle that oh I got some orders though a couple orders but it gives me a preview of the order oh good big order bigger it

know I don't know that big but three orders I have on eBay doesn't say if they're on eBay or if they're on so that's cool but I haven't sold anything directly through Shopify that I'm aware of email not subscribe subscription All right, so let's look at, oh, it's with my RSS feed. I'm trying to, I'm excited to find out if and when my podcast will give me a little bit of income. That would be freaking awesome. Now I really need it because I added the car, which is a huge upgrade financially for me. It means I can't buy anything else, which I'm not really going to end.

Everything is just for the car. now and of course I have my cheap so I didn't have to trade my Jeep in they weren't going to take anything for it so I still have it there's a local guy here where it does all my work I was gonna get a motor put in he said he found a motor for 850 dollars well that was my gonna do what I was gonna do but then the dealership called us up and said we can do something for you I really want I'm just I'm glad I did it's just gonna be right tight so I got the Jeep still oh I could put on Craigslist I could put it on eBay run

works fine just the moment it needs to be upgraded burns oil you always have to keep putting oil on it you can't just not like every other day it was going pretty good but now it's burning off but it's got like lots of new parts in it on the radiator it's not rusted at all so it's got lots of potential I was just going to get a motor for it all right so we had two downloads yesterday here rss.com four and seventeen I last 30 days because I had that one crazy day of 351, 1,158. So I'm excited to see if the commercials that you guys get, sorry for that, but now I really

need to find a way. Ooh. So, Netherlands, awesome, that's a new one, Z-U-T-P-H-E-N, so that's a new country, a message in a bottle over the Internet ocean, wherever it may go. so in the Netherlands I get to see red dots where it's not sure where it is but looks like over there United Kingdom Manchester United States W-A-U-A-U-K-E-S-H-A Toronto Ashburn's always there for me I was excited to see Ashburn and Toronto Canada pretty cool I was excited so yeah so I want to see if I get any sort of income in those commercials I can't get any really

from YouTube we'll segue to there now but we are growing and my project journeyman's got pretty quiet overnight when we did less than 200 views but still I keep running and once soon my brainwave scam thing comes in we'll see if we can monitor my brainwades at night because last night I had some really crazy dreams we always talk about that I take the red pill just kind of like a matrix and that red pill it's me really crazy so we're at 72,340 subscribers so that's the other thing I cannot and I mean I have to stop put the brakes on never again promote so I get to be happy what I have to do that that $300 a month has to work for the car

now can't do that so we're going to get through this month payoff at all and then just let it ride it's got it's got a self-build on itself but as we can see right here estimated revenue $46.2 so the revenue went down I watch hours are down 1.3k but still pretty high views are 253.0 okay so and disregard I still and the only reason really news are higher right now is because they still have the uh disregard the my last one-on-one youtube creator i did 60 bucks in that one so as soon as that ends may say maybe save 20 or so for a month ebay was supposed to i mean google was supposed to give me a 900 dollar promotion or something i haven't seen or if i got that that would be awesome i put

So if you did XML out, you're supposed to get a promotion for XML. I haven't seen that. Alright, so this was Wii outer virtual screw map. Ah, so help me sort out all the different screws and putting my Wii back together. Awesome. Awesome. So I made a virtual screw map and it actually helped somebody out. That's pretty cool.

There's all the different screws. The Wii's got so many screws. We're using more screws. I made a virtual screw map. So help somebody out. That's pretty cool. Old video probably did that. I don't know how many years ago that was.

We're closing in also on 10,000 videos. Oh, it's just pretty crazy. And at this rate, you know, we'll be at 100,000 videos within a few years. Pretty awesome. So I'll never stop doing videos and my project journeyman will be every night, except for a really hot summer, but we'll keep adding more fun things. keep adding more fun things to it i cut the color down so i only have one little color thing going on and then in the middle midnight middle of the night i turned the other color off so it's just

enough the background is enough so you can see that so i'm more interested in i had some colors so i was looking at the new subscribers i got one for 160 but nothing out no most of them 75 79 so of course part of my routine is as soon as i go to youtube i subscribe to anybody that subscribe to me can't hurt only can't help i only see a fraction it's my upgraded Subaru at 121 views 1.2k and flash Subaru so i just did all i did was just one quick video for uh for 60 seconds we'll do lots of more videos of course i'm not new car 2021. It's not brand new, but it was really pricey too. I'm not even going to say how much I paid for it. But I just looked at it as how much I pay per month? You know, X amount per month forever. But what we're going to do is I'm hoping in a year and a half, I could have been my mother will hang around for forever. And then I can refinance the house. We've got plenty of equity in the house here. I don't owe a lot, but we still owe, you know, enough.

I'd like to get that all paid off someday. If YouTube would pay off for me, but not quite, not so much, so far. But the goal is this car now is 72 months, so I don't know, I'm not 72 months. It's many years. So my goal is I want to refinance the house here. Right now we have a he lock. The industry goes up and down, but it was when I first got the he lock, It was only 3%.

And then I went crazy on me. So it kind of backfired my heat lock. But I'm going to see the interest. We'll go down some in the next year and a half. I'm going to refinance. And then what I'll do is I'll take that car loan when it was left and just throw it into the, I'll throw that car loan into the,

pay off the car loan and throw it into the refinance at the lower interest rate. That would make sense, right? Instead of paying 19%, interest rate by then when every finance would probably be around like 5% maybe right so the world just go in there I got plenty equity to do that so that's the goal so although I'm paying 19% now it's hopefully not going to be for not for 72 months or for it could be but potential for that it's just X amount I just

look at as a as a you're same with that he lock it's just we're just paying interest only so it's just like paying rent here it's X amount per month so now the car is just another part of rent x amount per month I'm not even thinking about trying to pay it off at all but I do have an option to roll into a mortgage which would make total sense all right so let's see what's this going on here on YouTube pretty cool so we'll do a lot more I'm gonna look at the engine and it's cool oh the first thing I noticed on that engine for the jeep it's a 2.0 there's an upgrade 2.0 something upgrade but we

don't have that engine and uh oil filter right on top that's pretty fancy like who that's pretty cool really i don't want to get rid of my other jeep but i did put a bug in the guy's air down the but if someone's looking for a jeep he's one of those he's a car uh repair guy that you know everyone goes so that doesn't have money so he sees everybody in town looking for stuff so as i find somebody let me know i will sell i got uh sets are in that will upgrade it a little bit and oh we talked about yes i haven't heard back but we decided oh no oh no i hadn't said we're going to to uh i got also got $2,200 for credit through PayPal so So we're going to use that to get a dumpster and we're going to start emptying out the gazebo.

Yeah, that's what we're going to do while it's in the fall here. I'll hear back from the guide today. Once I get the dumpster dropped off, I'm going to get one 15-yard dumpster. I'm going to cut it open like a fish from the outside of that gazebo and everything's just going to come dumping out. Of course, I'll be the whole thing. Once I get a dumpster into place and then we'll just stop. filling it up not really we're about taking the gazebo down itself just going to get everything out of it it's in there and then i can make a walk through for now but i'm

going to have to take the gazebo now and eventually we'll take the gazebo down too we've totally decided not to do the other idea and we're going to just do it myself with a we'll start with a 15-yard dumpster and see what that gets me so i'll say so look forward to that it's coming we'll definitely we'll start talking about that we'll game plan it First, I got to get the dumpster dropped off. I've got to put it way in the corner, the back of my fence, with the opening of it, right next to the gazebo. Because, again, I'm going to cut it looks just like a fish,

right down the middle where there's, like, a fence cover in the gazebo. And then once I do that, everything's just like, I'm piling out. But if everything has to be in place, so it'll make a mess. So I can quickly take everything from the guts of the gazebo that dumps out put it into the dumpster clean up really quick should be pretty easy-peasy technically I should separate all the metal and the plastic and then I could take all the metal and recycle it may be an option that would be half the stuff would go into the dumpster only the plastic so yeah we decided we're

gonna do that all right so let's see oh let's go anything see what's going on let's look at oh look at oh look a little bit action oh yeah actually lot to say all right so let's check oh no one I ordered yesterday too Raspberry Pi 5 I ordered a case that actually the case I have my Raspberry Pi 5 it's f-l-I-C-R it's just a passive cooler I need an active one with fans so I found this really cool one that looks like a little mini N-E-S and it's a case for the Raspberry Party and has two fans in it active fan hasn't shipped yet though my brain scan let's see where that is now it is it's still in China but hasn't hit the United States

sound quote-unquote speed pack but it still takes my travel case for my PS I mean for my Nintendo Switch 2 came in so that's pretty awesome we'll look at that later and we'll decide we're gonna do that yeah but if I keep getting sales I'm all right we have three sales four messages two responses no new feedback so let's let's see what we're gonna do let's look at the sales for us because sometimes it may reflect with the messages oh so i sold my um xbox fat 360 on cassette i knocked down 70 to 5 uh it's got 737 in it so that's pretty awesome so we'll get that out today and then i sold PS2 slim the top cover brackets this door uh brackets for the top cover top cover so lots of

box top cover and then also a PS2 fat model eight I mean my eight bottom screw front for importance you know where you put your memory cards and your controller and all that stuff so that's pretty awesome so let that's it will help me well let's dig into the meat and bones here of what we got going on okay just order the jasper but I select the wrong shipping address at check oh okay okay oh great see see this great okay okay I will change the the address that's why I ordered what I order what gets ordered first I will okay I will change the address when printing out a label this morning

this so it's North Carolina so it's pretty cheap it will ship today so it's it's first thing done all right let's go to the second question all right second question here uh so this is for the Sony PS2 would you happen to have the shields for the GOP5 motherboards 10 bottoms screw I yes I believe I have those, although, but not listed, but not listed. I will get a set up for you a bit later today. So if you ask me something, of course I'm do it if I have it I can't see in the in the perfect world I would have every part for

every system listed but A I would never be able to get them all all that stuff listed B I would probably be so overwhelmed with orders that I would be able to do it so you can get at least one or two parts listed per system then you get a compensation going and what this guy did is I had a PS2 10 bottom is this for the 10 bottom screw PS2 fats. So those little ones with the O-O-Fold motherboards, O-O-5, double stack, or the O-O-Six. So I only have a couple things listed for those, and he sees that he asked me a question through a top cover for the disc tray of the 10 bottom screw, asking if I also had that, which I do. So I'll get that around. All right. So now let's go back down to some

other questions does this include the screws oh I can I can't include them just make a note to add I usually just ship heat sinks heat, sinks, and clants. I can include them. Just make a note. Just make a note to add and purchasing to remind me. Again, you ask me something, I can definitely do it.

Pretty good like that. Does this come with the screen? this come with the screws? Same deal. Same deal. Same deal. Make a note. So let's simply ask me about screws twice. I definitely should add the screws to it. All right, so now let's go to Xbox one. $30 steel. Yeah, I'll probably take that. Let's get rid of it.

Those are for four defective donor power supplies. It's only in Ohio, so we'll take that. It's fine. Get that out of there. I have to start taking a lot. I've been taking a lot more orders, but I did decline to yesterday. $56. We don't have to worry about that now.

But I've got some other. But I've got some other. so it gives me four orders now we added another order i actually added two more orders that's pretty awesome yeah all right so that's pretty awesome all right and then let's see oh i need to get some capital built up here because i had to read redo all my insurance company had to change insurance companies so there's a lot of things i had to do yesterday we'll get a little bit i was tired i was like um and then i got to turn my camera system back i have a whole camera system um i use the uh wing no not ring i use um blink system i haven't had it off for a while to

I got a nice car in the front there, so I want to keep an eye on it, so I'm going to reset that up today. So I'll run all the time now. So we're going to surround my car. And I have, it has power locks, and the actual trunk opens up with the button. It's all fancy stuff, but it's enough bells and whistles for me. And it has a little bit of warranty. I don't know two years or something, power train. don't really can go anywhere

but now if I need to go somewhere I have a vehicle before it was like I can't go I can't go to wherever and you know it's another state over because my Jeep overruns good I couldn't trust it being on the highway but now I have a highway car so it's pretty exciting

kind of need it as we're getting going forward here as we're getting older with my mother getting changing I got to be able to car I can go places if I had to go whatever whatever reason all right so we put some stuff in the bank that offset all the stuff going on let's see today's the 30th let's check one other thing it's supposed

RSS feed is supposed to give me income at the end of the month there's a 30 temperatures tomorrow let's just look on my PayPal so going into fall we'll have lots of fun things to video overnight as my brain scan comes in and then we're also going to do we're going to tackle that gazebo no no cash value nothing's deposited okay so nothing happened there and we are at google ad sense let's see what we're at there this would be you have to wait at the end of the month for payment from youtube but you have to have to have $100 and i do not so therefore means that means uh i have to wait another month maybe two months i'll get last time it took me four months to get another payment

hundred hundred twenty seven let's see what we're at today is the 2030th so if I were to get payment it would have been today but it had to be a hundred dollars last time I looked was like sixty-seven dollars that's fine so these are really important things I have to check on yeah everybody I get a head-on oh wow so But we're still on track. Yeah, so it still says I made $68.60. That's my balance right now, and you can't touch it. My last payment was $126.33.

And 37 cents. That took me four months to get to that. One month now I got to $68.60. But you got to remember, as we talked about, if I go to all my Google, oh, I also have a Go-Funding, I want to help me out. for all my Google Google Promotions That's really that I wanted that for

And for all my pro motions I'm well into $500 or more Google promotions a lot of it all right let's see we'll give you another quick and this is I showed all this in my own I did my last one-on-one the breakdown of all my Google promotion so you know

that I'm not just making them up to actual money that I spent this month I owe $314 which is coming out so if we look back here January I had 209 for promotions. Then last February, I had $126. This is what I paid for promotion. March, I had $2. April, I had $162 is all I'd paid in promotions so that could grow.

On May, I put $317. June, I managed to only do $38.73. July was $287. And now, this month, I spent $437 in August, but I knocked off $100, I owe $314. So all this money that I've been spending on promotions has to stop now, because now I've got a car to pay. So I grew as best as I could, and I have to take breaks.

It's going to be hard, but we have to have to. Actually, I have no other choice than that. And then I still have some payments left on my K-L-A-R-N-A. Anything I buy, I break it to four payments. But I end up racking that up between my MetaQuest and then my Tend to Switch 2. We'll get that paid off, and then that'll be no more of that either because I have a card. So everything's changed. Things always change.

The better. So we're pretty excited. stuff that's a good long rundown at this morning so we'll keep adding more things in the morning and again keep a lookout we're going to start talking about that uh bazaibo i was going to wait but then i'm like you know what let's i got a little bit of credit i can use that towards some dumpsters and i could just do just do it myself just pretty easy easy all i'm doing was taking stuff in one spot as it piles out and putting it into a big giant dumpster pretty awesome Of course, I'll video every single thing.

Yeah, so we'll definitely do that. We'll do it in two videos. I'll video with the camera strap to me, like I do when I do mowing and all that. And then we'll also do a camera wide view out as I'm doing it too. So we'll do a double shot camera for that project. I don't think I'm gonna take the gazebo down yet.

We're gonna get everything, all the guts that are in there. It's all gonna come spewing out. And just like cutting open a fish. You know, you cut it open everything just comes, all the guts comes spewing out. It's exactly what's going to happen. As soon as I cut open that outside of that gazebo, it's going to be pretty awesome. I'm going to get a good video of that. But I got to have everything in place before I do that because I don't want to make a mess.

Technically, it's not my yard on that side, so I have to have it all. I really even put in a dumpster there. It's kind of a gamble, but I shouldn't be right. Just so I get all that out of there. get out of that pretty quick all right everyone's up to really long morning one here everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend and we'll just for me i'll be doing lots of fun stuff so stay tuned and i'll talk to you later all right bye
