9 types of Ramadan spenders
With the month of Ramadan upon us, it’s only natural for people’s routines to change. And since people intrigue us at Bank al Etihad, we decided to take a closer look at them and write about the different types of people you may encounter during this month.
So, buckle up and get ready for a ride. Here are our top 4 spenders during Ramadan:
The food lover
We know! Who doesn’t love food, especially during Ramadan? But we’re not talking about those who feel satisfied by a simple futur meal. We’re talking about you folk who spend your time following the most elaborate recipes and looking for the best Ramadan deals at restaurants.
Maybe, you’re thinking of suhoor as you’re eating futur or thinking of what you’ll eat for iftar the next day during suhoor! If this is you, you probably spend a lot of money on food. So, we’d recommend you keep the grocery shopping to someone more economical in your family, or at the very least make use of the discounts that are available to you when using our bank’s cards.
The high roller
Some people just can’t help but gravitate toward the mall during Ramadan, and we’re not judging because we know why — there are sales and discounts everywhere! So, it’s only natural that people will want to shop more than they usually do. If you’re like this, we only ask that you check your account balance regularly, to make sure that you stay on top of your finances.
The binge watcher
We all know at least one person who refuses to miss a single show of those prepared precisely for the month of Ramadan. We can find this person in our homes, among our friends, or at work. Maybe, you are that person. Regardless, we can relate because we also have a habit of bingeing shows during Ramadan and every other month of the year!
And we know that nowadays, you have to be subscribed to various streaming services to watch all the shows that people can’t help but rave (or rage) about. So, we think it’s only right to remind you to issue our multi-currency prepaid card to avoid those pesky currency conversion fees.
The super saver
Some find that it’s during Ramadan that they can save up and cut back on spending the most. But we know that’s not the case for others. That’s why we want to give you some tips on how you can do so to achieve your saving goals.
First, you should opt to write shopping lists before heading out of your home to stick to them and avoid making unnecessary purchases. Second, always check which stores offer the best discounts and avoid shopping while fasting because let’s face it, shopping while you’re food-deprived is not a good idea. Last, consider opening a Tharaa savings account to save and get the chance to win a daily prize of 9,999 JOD or 99,999 JOD every 90 days!
Don’t have a Tharaa savings account? Easy, open an account through our mobile banking app and deposit money to enter the draw!
Finally, whether this month brings out the spender or the saver in you, don’t forget that it’s also the time to think of those in need and give back to them. After all, what is Ramadan if it’s not about putting ourselves in others’ shoes and spreading goodness and love!
You were probably expecting to see 9 spenders, but we just wanted to remind you again that our saving prizes are back! Don’t forget to feed your Tharaa savings account to enter the draw to win 9,999 JOD every day and 99,999 JOD every 90 days! ;)
