Zara's journey from everyday life to Japan-bound explorer

Note the following content is intended to be educational but it does contain promotional material for Kaldi. 

Saving for your dreams doesn't have to mean giving up the things you love. They’ll be none of that “well, if you just cancel your Spotify subscription or buy fewer coffees, you might be able to save” nonsense here.  

Let’s take a look at an example of how Kaldi could help someone achieve their savings goals. Let’s call her Zara.  

Zara’s on her way to Tokyo without compromising on her style or a social life that has one or two too many late nights for our liking. 

Anyway, we digress. Let’s deep dive into Zara’s story and how Kaldi is helping reach her goals.  

From the Shibuya Crossing to digital art museums, Zara's always dreamed of getting lost in translation and experiencing Tokyo's blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology firsthand. 

But between those pesky things we call rent and bills, coupled with her love for London's thriving music scene, Zara always believed the dream seemed out of reach. That is, until she discovered Kaldi. 

"I used to think I'd have to give up things like new clothes and going out for dinner to save for Tokyo," Zara admits. "But with Kaldi, I'm still living my life while watching my travel fund grow. This is one of the rare instances where it feels like I'm having my cake and eating it too!" 

Kaldi's Roundup feature has changed the game for Zara. Every purchase she makes, including new kicks and her morning coffee, is rounded up to the nearest pound, with the difference going straight into her Tokyo fund. "It's amazing how those small amounts add up," she says. "I don't even notice them going, but they're making a difference." 

The app's cashback feature has turned Zara's existing habits into saving opportunities. "I get cashback on the things I would buy anyway from my favourite brands now," she explains. "I feel like I'm being rewarded for doing what I love." Kaldi offers cashback at 100+ major high street stores, including popular brands like Starbucks, Adidas, Airbnb and Ikea. 

Kaldi's Savings Goal-tracking feature keeps Zara motivated. "Seeing that little animation grow and change is addictive," she says. "Sometimes I'll add even more to my savings just to see the bar move faster!" 

The result? Kaldi’s helped Zara drop her monthly savings down to just £85 per month, on top of what she’s earning from Kaldi, while still building towards her Tokyo fund of £2,500 in time without her feeling like she's sacrificing her passions or her lifestyle. 

So, what are you saving for? Whether it's a dream holiday, simply building up an emergency fund or any other financial goal you have, be like Zara and let Kaldi's help you achieve your ambitions while having a little fun along the way.

Download the app today and take the first step towards making your financial dreams a reality, without sacrificing the life you love. 

Important considerations: While Kaldi offers innovative features to help you save, it's essential to understand that saving money involves discipline and financial planning. Individual results may vary, and using financial services like Kaldi does not guarantee achieving your savings goals. Always consider your financial circumstances and, if needed, seek independent financial advice.
