Geremy’s 2024 Insights: Lifestyle

With the 2028 Olympics coming up, I’d like to propose that we add two new events to the lineup: fastest Amazon.com order and most pictures taken— because I’m sure that I’d bring home the gold in both categories.  As part of my year-end reflections, I analyzed my Amazon.com orders and iPhone photos and I was surprised by how much money I spent and how many photos I took.

For the Amazon orders, apparently I was a bit delusional in thinking that I barely placed any orders. My 2024 Amazon.com stats are as follows: 

  • Total of 125 orders placed
  • Month with smallest amount of orders: 2 orders in March 
  • Month with most orders: 24 orders in July
  • Total spent on orders: $7,613
  • Month with least money spent: $62 in March
  • Month with most money spent: $1765 in December
  • Orders returned: 25 (one return for every five orders)
  • Most expensive order: $558 for Two Pirelli tires for my car
  • Least expensive order: $5 for a Hot Wheels car that resembles my Roadster (pictured above). 

I think that the reason why I was able to place so many orders without noticing is because I’m incredibly quick when ordering.  Since Amazon Prime has same day delivery, I made it a practice to quickly place my order to increase the likelihood of me receiving it by the end of the day.  This led to me spending way more money than anticipated.

I am also quick when it comes to taking photos with my iPhone, as evidenced by the many photos I was able to capture.  I took a total of 11,208 pictures in 2024 and almost none were burst-mode, rapid-fire, or duplicate photos.  I took the fewest photos in February with a total of 381 images, and the most were taken in August with a total of 2040 images.  In February, the cold weather forced me to stay indoors, which accounted for the lack of photos.  In August, I did a lot of traveling, which resulted in a lot of pictures.

My Amazon and photos predictions for 2025 are:

  • Amazon orders will drop slightly with a total of 75 orders
  • Amazon return rate will rise to 40% with 30 returns
  • Total money spent on Amazon will drop to $5,000
  • Total photos taken will increase to 15,000 

In the next and final post, I’ll share about my 2024 travels, including a summary of my flights and a detailed analysis of my car’s activity, including details like how many times I opened each door.
