Why HP Loses Money On Their Printers Sales 🖨️ Why are printers so cheap while ink cost an arm and a leg? Seriously as a reseller, when I see ink cartridges at a thrift store i get ECSTATIC because I know those bad boys are expensive af. Companies like HP use their printers to suck you in their ecosystem so they can profit MORE off of you in the long term. Just like how xbox does it (see my old video), Gillete, Nespresso does business. They sell their “main product” for a loss, then make their profits on the additional add ons that the customer has to buy frequently. What other companies has this business model? #business #hp #money #capitalist #personalfinance #printer #businessmodel #fintok

Costco’s New Membership Scanning Rule! 🪪 My costco just got something new! It’s not a new product, or new samples, it’s a membership scanning rule! They’ve been implementing this slowly in select locations, and I guess it just reached my local costco. This is another preventative measure to crackdown on membership sharing that they’ve been hammering down on lately. As a costco shareholder, the crack down on membership has been pretty good to increase revenue. There hasn’t really been a decrease in sign ups or renewals since the crack down. As a costco member, this is wack. What are the families going to do if the cardholder aren’t capable of going themselves? or if they’re sick, old, or out of town? I’ve gone countless times to costco to buy food for my family when my parents (my dad has a membership) couldn’t. What do you think of this? I wish I had aldi’s :( #costco #money #business #businessnews

How To Sell Your Old Airpods To Best Buy For 💵 I found this out recently, Best Buy has a trade in program where they will buy back your used electronics as long as its eligible. I saw some guy return his old airpods and one that was dying and got enough money to buy new headphones! However, just like most trade in programs, don’t expect it to be too crazy. It’s not like Gamestop, but they aren’t buying it for retail. Lmk if you tried this before! #airpods #apple #bestbuy #money #savemoney #personalfinance #moneytok #personalfinance #fintok #learnfromme

Who’s Ready To Invest In Bobaa 🤣 I’m really not the type to talk about situations like this one my channel, but when I saw the video of what happened, I didn’t believe it was real. As an asian-american and business fanatic, Bobba is an excellent case study on what NOT to do. No matter what you think is right or wrong, there is always a court of public opinion. brand If you’re creating a product based off an already popular pre existing product, you can almost always assume there will be push back from the people who love the original product. Now mix that in with a product that is synonymous with a culture/group of people and saying things like “it’s not ethnical anymore” or “don’t quite know the content” etc is just a recipe for disaster. Especially on live TV lol. i’m no expert in international business or customs, but i feel like I could’ve guessed that this product wouldn’t fair too well when mainstream media gets wind of it. I don’t think the company bobba is done for, they already have found success and are in many retail stores. But they definitely should figure out a way to somehow comeback from this by listening to what people are saying and make the right changes in their product brand for the long term. What do you think about this whole situation? Overreaction or justified? #bobba #dragonsden #boba #asian #business #simuliu #simu #money

Never Steal From Target! (unless you want a felony) 👮 Rule of thumb, don’t steal. Especially from target!

Comment below! ⬇️ THIS DOESNT MEAN TO STEAL UP TO THE LIMIT. #target #shoplift #money #business #police #savemoney

When and How Much Are You Supposed To Tip? 🧾 The tipping culture in america has gotten pretty wild these past few years. Tipping used to be a gesture of kindness, now it’s a prerequisite to being a good moral person. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for tipping! I just don’t like how stigmatized it has gotten. Here my protocol for tipping: 0% if I have to go up to order and pick up my food 15% if im at a sit down restaurant or if there is any service involved 20% if there is all of the above + good service (or if im at a street vendor) I’m not super strict on these protocols, I rather look at them as general guidelines. Sometimes i’ll tip alot, sometimes nothing, it really depends. If you want to tip, go for it and tip away! Just don’t be mad if i hit that 0% button if we’re at mcdonalds. What do you think? Whats your tipping protocol? #money #saving #tipping #personalfinance #savingmoney #tippingculture

Why Walmart (and other places) don’t accept Apple Pay 👀 Data, data, data. It’s all about the data. Why give one company all the data when you can create a system and have it yourself? Are there any other examples of this? #money #applepay #business #personalfinance #saving

Flying With Frontier Be Like…. ✈️ Little contradictory but I actually really like frontier, you get what you pay for! Frontier is goated when it comes to cheap flights, you just have to make sure you stick to the rules. 1. NEVER buy any upgrades or add-ons. It’s cheap because you are just paying for the seat, anything extra will cost hella and they will try their absolute hardest to get you to buy things (the website is tricky) 2. Bring only backpack or small duffle bag. Technically you are only allowed to bring a personal carry, but its actually bigger than what you think. I always bring my small duffle bag no problem 3.Assume you are gonna get delayed. Out of the 4 times i flown with frontier, 3 of my flights were delayed. at this point I assume that it’s going to be 1 hour later. Did I miss anything? LMK! #frontier #airlines #flight #airport #travel #travelhack #m#moneytokp#personalfinancef#fintoklearnfromme

FTC’s New “Click To Cancel” Rule 👿 Say goodbye to confusing and long cancellation processes! According to a new FTC rule, companies are no longer allowed to make cancelling subscriptions annoying long or confusing. Many companies do this because they know that most people will just give up and end up forgetting about their membership. Think amazon prime, netflix, curology and the most infamous, PLANET FITNESS. What do you think about this rule? What other companies make it hard to cancel? #business #FTC #planetfitness #money #biz #biztok #hustle #moneytok #personalfinance #fintok #learnfromme

When Hotels Try To Scam You… 🏨 If you ever stayed at a hotel, then you know about all of the random fees that get added in addition to the stay. It’s never the price you are advertised. You most likely got hit with a “destination fee”, which is just like resort fee where you pay for the extra amenities, except no resort and no amenities. The destination fee is a classic junk fee, that can be waived… sometimes. What other hotel chains do this? Have you ever waived this fee? #hotel #hyatt #travel #marriot #hotelstay #junkfee #scam #money #personalfinance
