College is expensive… BUT only if you don’t try this! ⤵️ There are a couple main expenses you have to worry about during college. Housing, Tuition, Food, Supplies. Let’s tackle them one by one. 1. Housing There’s not too much we can do about this other than commuting or becoming an RA (residential assistant). Most 1st and 2nd year are required to dorm so these expenses are likely fixed until you are able to move in with roomates. If you can/want to, consider commuting from home, becoming an RA (you get meals and housing compensated) or going to community for 2 years then transferring. If you’re not dorming, spend alot of time looking into housing, as early as possible. the best deals always go away the quickest. also make sure to take a pic of the house before you move in, and live with as many roomates as possible 2. Tuition Depends on what school youre going to but this is the worst expense by far. but you can do a couple things. Apply for scholarships, there are thousands of dollars that are allocated to scholarships that are never even applied for. take the time and apply to as many as possible. In HS, take as many AP classes or dual enrollment classes at your local community class. You can also take college courses during college over the summer/winter in community college. these classes will be alot cheaper and easier too. Only available mostly for GE’s. 3. Food Unless you have a meal plan, learn to cook. If you eat out everyday, which it is extremely easy to do in college, you will burn through cash. make your own coffee, cook your own food. try not to snack a ton and don’t waste money on expensive shots. 4. Supplies This video is mainly about the supplies. abuse student discounts, never pay full price for textbooks, and always look for used supplies on FB marketplace. LMK if im missing anything! #college #school #university #savemoney #money
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! Target is one of the many stores that will actually wait until you steal enough items to charge you with a felony. Kinda wild but respect for standing of business. What other stores do this? 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
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
