Amazon Prime costs $139/year.
Most members use 2 features: free shipping and Prime Video.
That's a $139 subscription doing the job of a $5.99 delivery fee.
J.P. Morgan estimates the actual value of Prime benefits at approximately $1,430/year more
than 10x the membership cost. But most of that value sits unclaimed behind tabs, menus,
and pages 200 million members have never opened.
And 4 of those benefits expire monthly. If you don't claim them by the end of the month,
they're gone. Amazon resets the clock. You paid for them. You lost them.
Amazon is counting on you not knowing.
Here are the 12 Prime benefits most members have never activated including the 4 that
vanish every 30 days 🧵
Daniel Bwala (Spoke man to Tinubu) said a Nigerian earning ₦60,000 now is better than a Nigerian who Japa Five years ago to UK 🇬🇧.
So my question is that what would you prefer :
1) Care Worker ( UK 🇬🇧) : £2200 monthly and after UK 🇬🇧 expenses you can still save £500
2) Earning ₦60,000 in Nigeria and after expenses you can save nothing.
What’s your preference?
Debt culture in the UK is real
In Nigeria, most people buy what they can afford. Here, it’s overdrafts, Klarna, credit cards, finance plans and a new phone every upgrade cycle.
Just because you can afford the monthly payment doesn’t mean you can afford it.
Credit can be a powerful tool when managed well. When it isn’t?
Defaults, CCJs and years of financial headaches.
And finally, build your savings before carrying the burden of black tax 🔑

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
