We can never repay the kindness and love of our parents who have cared for and raised us. But, we will certainly feel happy if we can repay our parents' kindness even though it will never be equal. There are many ways you can do to take care of your parents. You can start by taking care of their bills.
How to Take Care of Your Parents’ Bills with Bank Jago
1. Collect all their bills
You first need to know what bills your parents pay every month or every year or every certain period if any. You can do this by asking your parents directly, checking their documents or if their billings are in electronic version you can ask for their permission to access their email.
After, you can make a list of every bill that must be paid along with the due date. Don't be surprised, your parents could have forgotten to pay some of their bills.
If you feel that there are bills that your parents are still paying but they don’t need the services or subscriptions anymore, you can confirm with your parents whether they should be stopped. Money can be added to emergency savings, which is more important for parents to have.
2. Create a Jago Pocket for your parents’ bills
After knowing clearly what bills your parents need to pay, you can open a Jago account for them and then create a special Jago Pocket for money allocation to pay the bills.
However, if you think it’s difficult for your parents to manage it, you can create a Jago Pocket in your Jago application using your Jago account. With Jago, you can create a lot of Pockets to manage expenses for various needs. Each Pocket also has a Pocket number (account number). As such, it's more practical when you want to make bill payments.
