With the digital revolution hitting India and changing the mindset of our decisions, we, the youth of the nation have started thinking differently. As opposed to our parents, we do not really have to strive hard to run our daily life..
We have everything accessible on our fingertips, well, almost everything. Right from banking to finding an apartment for rent. It’s so easy for us comparatively.
Let’s take a look at a few things that our parents regret not having, that our generation is blessed with.
1.Easy Home Rentals
Back in the day, renting an apartment involved getting a job, making enough money to pay the security deposit and hunting for a condo by running around with your new best friend who calls himself a real estate agent.
Now, we need to just log onto NestAway.com and select a fully furnished apartment for rent by paying only two month’s rent as security deposit. Wow! How cool is that!
Above that, NestAway takes care of all the furnishings at no additional cost. It would sound like a dream to our parents when we tell them about this but hey, they would believe it when they see it.
Download the NestAway mobile application if you’re looking for shared rooms next to your new office. And well, make sure you show this service to your parents so that they know, you’re more sorted than they think.
- Digital Monetary Transactions
It’s almost magic when we can scan the barcode off that label and pay the shopkeeper. Digital wallets are a dream come true to most and for us, it’s almost a basic necessity.
Our parents were probably surprised when they introduced ATMs outside the bank and around the localities. They’re probably still getting used to remembering their ATM PINs.
We, on the other hand can make payments without even hitting the ATM. ATMs? What are those? Digital payment system is indeed a blessing to our generation and yet, there’s more to come.
Apart from Paytm, most private banks have their own digital payment platforms like SBI Pay that allows users to pay anyone holding a unique payment ID.
- Affordable and Organised Travel
Gone are the days when our parents would ask our uncles for travel advice to some place they’ve already been to. Or, collecting guidebooks and booking hotels after you get down at the railway stations. Yes, railway stations, because, air travel was very expensive those days.
Nowadays, a plethora of online travel agents expose us to almost every possibility of events on our trip. From itinerary planning to booking hotels by looking at the photographs of the room and the view, everything is doable from the mobile phone itself.
And train travel? Well, why do we need that if we can take a flight to our destination at a very affordable price? The OTAs offer good discounts and loyalty points for us these days. Plus, with the benefit of insurance.
Either our parents are envying the life that we can lead right now or they’re extremely happy for us. Let’s make the most out of it.
