Gen z in Singapore they use the card for shopping 

Gen Z is spending more with e-Wallets in their spending habits as compared to previous generations. Several factors that might contribute to the higher spending among Gen Z: 1. Technology and gadgets: Gen Z tends to prioritize spending on technology, such as smartphones, laptops, and streaming services, which can add up over time. 2. Experiences over possessions: Many Gen Z individuals value experiences like travel, dining out, and attending events, which can lead to increased spending compared to spending on material possessions. 3. Social media influence: The influence of social media can lead to spending on fashion, beauty products, and other items that are popular or trendy among peers. 4. Education costs: With rising tuition fees and student loans, many Gen Z individuals face sign

Not necessarily. e-wallets are convenient and just another payment tool. Whether one spend more is more of how the person is educated on value of money and necessity versus wants. I prefer credit cards as it comes with better benefits compared to e-wallets.

Though not Gen Z, I have been pioneer in adoptions (eg BYO shopping bag in 2001/2, iPad Gen 1 in budget airline, ApplePay via Watch) & hence influential to pple around me. Cashless payments during EU & CN trips have reduced travel risks, improved instant awareness of spends (compared to CC only when monthly bill comes), no more round-up payments, various rewards for early adopters of e-wallets & digitisation. In summary, spending has become more efficient due to ease of price comparisons, subsidied spends for non-urgent procurements & household lifecycle replacements. Over the last decade if not longer, the above changes have enabled me to have more control over finances and in turn created more spare funds and time to invest. Hope Singapore can clean up and optimise the cu

that's true, usually if you use cash, and when you realize there'isn t enough cash you will think twice before spending

I feel e wallets made us spend more since there is the transparency and trackability of our spending became less instant, and we may unconsciously tap for payments exceeding our budget. however, I still like the convenience both e wallets and cards offer over card - tap, pay, and get rewarded by the various merchants like $MasterCard(MA)$ and $Visa(V)$

Gen Z in Singapore, like their counterparts in many other parts of the world, are increasingly embracing digital payments over physical cash. Several factors contribute to this trend: 1. **Convenience**: Digital payment methods such as mobile wallets, contactless cards, and peer-to-peer payment apps offer convenience and speed, allowing Gen Z to make transactions quickly and easily without the need for physical cash. 2. **Tech-savvy Culture**: Gen Z, being the first generation to grow up entirely in the digital age, are comfortable with technology and are early adopters of new digital trends, including digital payment solutions. 3. **COVID-19 Pandemic**: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital payments globally, including in Singapore. Concerns about virus transmission th

I totally agree that e-wallet make us spend more because of the rebate or prizes they offer. Even though I am not  generation Z but nowadays, most of the ppl also use e -wallet because it is not only convenient but also for saving the money (cash rebate or discount). My spending habits depend on how much money I have [LOL] mostly spend on food and payment of loan and fees. I prefer an e-wallet that can track my spending. sometimes, we will use a credit card if it is in need ( spending future money, pay later, or some people even drag until the card is exploded). Anyway it is all about self-control and how you spend your money wisely. Different kinds of paying methods for different people, that is no right or wrong. Spend your money like a monkey ? cause no money, no honey [LOL]

Perhaps, maybe... E-wallet provides convenience and perks from banks vying for business. However, it does have its cons too... If there's outage and you have no cash to make payment... Will business stops entirely? If there's no control and your hands get itchy... You see something that you like or there's promotion so hard to refuse.... There goes... Yep, does make you spend more if there's no discipline... [What]  [What]  [What]  [Miser]  [Miser]  [Miser]  [Cool]  [Cool]  [Cool]  [Sly]  [Sly]  [Sly]  [Grin]  [Grin]  [Grin]   @koolgal  

The increasing adoption of e-wallets among Gen Z in Singapore presents coupled with the Gen Z's heavy reliance on mobile apps and digital services definitely will boost their spending using e-wallets. In my opinion, consumer trends and technological advancements are two key aspects that drive mode of spending of, not only Gen Z, but all generations, in Singapore. 

Generation Z have rich parent, thus can afford to spend more, but Generation Alpha will spend even more than Gen Z, right, @TigerGPT ? [Chuckle]

Are Gen Z in Singapore spending more using e-wallets? Yes, in fact not just for Gen Zs, but millenials as well. It is quite prevalent that e-wallets or the greater fintech offerings is evolution propelling consumer spending, pushing banks, fintech, shopping and travelling platforms to greater heights.  Hey it's Daniel again. I'm a millenial. Let's debate on this.  What's the psychology behind this? I don't know, but my best guess based on personal experience is the ease of payment, especially if a E wallet is linked up with your debit or credit card. Your money is nothing more than numbers on a screen, it insensitivises the feeling that money is leaving you. Coupled with stronger data collection and analysis, the average consumer is, now more easier than ever, manipulat

Agree, e-wallet skip the step to take out money from wallet. 

I’m not Gen Z but cashless methods of spending are more invisible than spending cash so I agree one may spend more. These days I use cashless methods more often than cash.

As a mature professional, I acknowledge that I am not part of Generation Z, and consequently, I approach the use of e-wallets with a certain level of caution. Given the importance of security in financial transactions, I prioritise understanding and mitigating potential risks associated with using e-wallets. Therefore, while I recognise the convenience they offer, I also take proactive measures to ensure the safety of my personal and financial information when utilising such digital payment methods. I have observed thatIt appears that Gen Z has a strong ability to rely on support from their parents when it comes to financial matters. Generation Z appears to have a seamless integration of their smartphones into their daily lives, often keeping them close at hand at all times. Sometimes they

💳📲📱Gen Z's Digital Blaze: E-Wallets Leading the Way 📱📲💳 E-wallets can potentially make you spend more due to their convenience and ease of use. When your payment information is stored digitally and readily accessible, it can lead to impulse purchases and less awareness of how much you're spending. Additionally, some e-wallets offer rewards programs or discounts, which can incentivize spending. However, whether or not e-wallets actually make you spend more ultimately depends on individual spending habits and self-control. I’m Gen X. Gen Z refers to the demographic cohort born after Millennials, typically defined as individuals born between the mid-to-late 1990s and the early 2010s. Members of Generation Z are known for being digital natives, having grown up in a world heavily influenced by

No doubt e-wallets and digital payments are convenient, popular with many attractive offers & rewards.. easy to clicks and spend more than old times.
