Grab life by the fun money

Fun money is the best money. It’s the money that gets you onto the ski hill with friends, up close at your favorite concert or on a beach in the dead of winter.

We’ve been sharing ideas about how happiness comes from experiences, not material items, and research shows that the more you focus away from money, the happier you’ll be.

If you can avoid the sudden urges to purchase material items, you’ll be able to save your hard earned dough for fun experiences and be happier.

But sometimes, there’s no money left after all the bills are paid. Money has this unique ability to vanish – literally. So, it’s important to keep your fun money separated from your bank account.

Everyone loves knowing they have a little spending money set aside, which is why many of our cardholders are using their Mogo Card for fun money – smart thinking!

“As of today, I’ve totally given up on using my regular debit card in lieu of my Mogo Prepaid Visa Card. I put all of my spending money on the card and leave the rest in my savings account. Gotta save up for that new Xbox!” – Cory V.

Some cardholders using the Mogo Card for fun money are even saving on bank fees. By moving their debit card purchases to your Mogo Card (no monthly or transaction fees), many have been able to reduce their monthly bank account fees.

Of course, the best part of using your Mogo Card for fun money is that it’s prepaid, so you can’t spend more than you load.

WIth a traditional credit card, the fun can easily get thousands of dollars out of control. With the Mogo Card there’s no risk of interest charges, NSF fees, overdraft fees or over balance fees.

He’re’s how you get started:
