Hey guys! I am genuinely curious to know how many of you RENT vs OWN your home 🏠

As many of you know, I do BOTH! I pay rent for the apartment I live in but I also own rental properties with my brother.
For those of you who are renting, definitely check out my latest video to learn how I save over $600 off my rent by using my credit card! 😁

If you haven't watched my latest video, I made a MAJOR investment in myself.
It has truly changed MY LIFE! 😁

I don't need to wear glasses anymore!

But glasses have also been part of my "brand" since day one so I want to know what you think!

Should I keep the glasses (fake lenses) in my videos?
Or no-glasses? 🤔

⚠️ Upcoming Changes with YouTube Ads... ⚠️

Hey guys, I have some frustrating news regarding YouTube. Starting in November, YouTube will no longer allow me to control what types of ads I allow on my videos.

So very soon, you should expect to see NON-SKIPPABLE Ads for the first time in my videos... 😡

I hate them. Nothing ruins a video experience like an abrupt 20 second advertisement that you HAVE to sit through...

I've been an avid fan of YouTube since 2006 and I've been running this channel for over 4 years.
I made a promise to myself that I would NEVER allow non-skippable ads on my videos.

Even though, allowing those ads would earn me greater revenue from YouTube.
I hate those 20 second non-skippable ads in my personal life and I would NEVER want my viewers to suffer through them.

Unfortunately, I no longer have a choice.

Starting in November, ALL types of ads will be allowed on videos.
It's up to the YouTube algorithm to decide what kind of ad appears (skippable, non-skippable and bumper ads)

I understand that YouTube needs to make money and myself, as a full-time YouTuber, I need to earn a living too but this is not the way.

I made a conscious choice these past 4 years, to reduce my YouTube income in order to improve the viewing experience for my viewers. Now that choice is gone.

I hope you guys will still stick with the YouTube platform and continue to support myself and the thousands of other content creators who are passionate about making videos.

I for one, will try my best to limit the amount of mid-roll ads (ads that appear in the middle of a video)
Again, I have limited control over this. Let's hope that those non-skippable ads don't show up in the middle of a video, we'll find out in November...

Personally, I have been paying $13 a month for YouTube Premium in order to skip these annoying ads.
There are also ad-blockers out there but I can't vouch for their effectiveness.

I love YouTube. I've loved it as a viewer for 17 years and I've loved it as a creator for 4 years.
I don't want YouTube to change but it is happening.

That's the end of my rant, as always I hope you guys are doing well and I'll see you very soon!

Hey guys! Good news! I FINALLY got verified on Instagram!!! ✅

I have to pay $20 a month for it which isn't great but it's definitely worth it to protect you guys and scare aware the scammers! 🤞

So now I am verified on BOTH YouTube and Instagram! So ALWAYS look for that checkmark next to my name! ✅

In the YouTube comments, look for a GREY check like this: @CanadianTShirt ☑️
In Instagram, look for a BLUE check, it will look like this except blue: canadiantshirt ✅

If you do NOT see a checkmark next to my name, it is NOT me! That is a SCAM account and please report them! 🙏

So if someone who "looks like me" sends you a follow request or starts messaging you or starts replying to your comment and you do NOT see a checkmark, that is NOT me

Please be careful out there you guys. I try my best to report and block these scammers and warn you when I see them but there's only so much I can do.

By now, you guys know me. You know how I speak, you know I would never try to sell you anything, least of all crypto and "get rich quick" schemes. So if you feel suspicious, trust your instincts and please report it! 🙂

Be safe everyone and I'll see you all soon! 😁
