DUBAI/ GULF TIME
Whatever your age, saving money often feels like missing out on those life affirming experiences that keep us happy, fed, well and energised. If you’ve grown up in different eras, it’s fair to say that whilst each generation may handle money in different ways, everyone looks to save cash where they can — it’s just a different choice as to how.
Generationally, each age group handles money in a different way. We’ve all grown up in different eras, and place value on different things. Some people are busy saving for retirement while some are squirreling away their dirhams in order to see the world one day.
Looking for a ‘soft’ life?
Hustle culture has been abandoned in favour of saving in the present! Gen Z go for ‘soft saving’ — the financial version of the ‘soft living’ trend. Soft saving means using more money for the present. The ‘soft life’ trend is a lifestyle that embraces comfort and low stress, prioritising personal growth and wellness and engaging with brands and businesses they resonate with authentically, perfect for those who want to save money now, and spend it on the things that bring you joy.
Can you live your best life and still save?
It’s all about the balance. The recent report by Intuit shows that three in four Gen Z would rather have a better quality of life than extra money in their banks. But what if there was a way to enjoy all the good stuff and look forward to a monthly pay day too?
Say hello to mimojo
Generation Z, a group of savvy-savers and digital bankers may be able to teach us a thing or two about living well. Like older generations, Gen Z still enjoys treating themselves and living life to the full, but they are more likely to seek discounts to do so, and if you are going to use a discount, you’d better make it easy to redeem!
mimojo is the UAE’s most seamless and totally automated cashback platform that delivers savings and brand discovery to consumers and redefines redemptions for merchants and outlets via the most easy to use technologically advanced app available on the market.
The first-of-its kind digital platform is brought to you by a team with over a decade of experience in the UAE’s discount leisure redemption industry — mimojo offers a seamless experience for earning cashback on local merchants from your favourite fast-food joints to fine-dining restaurants, attractions, retail and spa and salon services — consumer discounts and cashback have never been easier to access & redeem.
