For those of you who have siblings, doing everything with them will feel easier and more fun, don't you think? Looking after, taking care of parents and meeting their needs will also be easier when you do them with your siblings. Managing finances together with them to buy various things your parents need can be done practically using the Shared Pocket in the Jago application.
Benefits of Using the Jago/Jago Syariah Shared Pocket to Manage Finances Together with Siblings to Meet Parents' Needs
There are many benefits you can enjoy by managing money using the Shared Pocket.
1. The Shared Pocket makes it easier to collaborate on saving and spending money from the Jago application on each of your cellphones
Pocket owner who creates a Shared Pocket can first invite members to join. If you want to be the owner, then you can create a Spending Pocket or Saving Pocket first.
Is it better to create a Saving Pocket or a Spending Pocket? Jagomin's suggestion, it is more practical to create a Spending Pocket. Because the Saving Pocket can only be used for saving, it cannot be used as a source of funds for spending.
Next, you can invite your siblings to become Pocket members. A Pocket with more than one member automatically change to a Shared Pocket.
After joining the Shared Pocket, each member will have it in their respective Jago application. In other words, each member can easily put money into this Shared Pocket from other Pockets that are the source of funds. So, everyone is free from the hassle of remembering account numbers when they want to save in the Shared Pocket.
Likewise when you want to use money in the Shared Pocket. For example, your sibling wants to buy something for your parents. If their role is ‘can spend’, then they can make transactions using the balance in the Shared Pocket, directly from the Jago application.
2. The Shared Pocket maintains transparency in the use of money
The owner and all members can both monitor transactions made in the Shared Pocket. The transactions in question are all types of transactions, namely incoming and outgoing transactions. So, transparency is always well maintained. Drama or conflict in managing money with siblings can be prevented and avoided.
3. The Shared Pocket can have many members, so invite all your siblings to manage money together
The total number of members who can join the Shared Pocket is 29 people. Together with the owner, it becomes 30 people.
