Saving money together with friends can be fun but also overwhelming depending on your style. Are you the one always planning five months in advance or the one saying, "I will transfer the money later," but never does? Let’s find out! Discover your saving habits and style and see how Potje makes saving money together with friends simple.
The Planner: We love you, but you need to calm down a bit.
You live for organization. You have documents full of budgets, timelines, to-do lists, and reminders on your calendar. Let’s be honest, you have a color-coded spreadsheet for every trip, right? Your catchphrase is probably, "Let me put it on my calendar first," and you get very stressed with last-minute changes of plans.
Strength: You keep the group on track, and without you, the trip would never make it out of the group chat.
Struggle:You get frustrated when others aren’t as organized and don’t do at least the bare minimum.
How Potje helps: Create a Potje for your group, set a clear goal, and watch everything stay on schedule as everyone contributes. No more chasing your friends to pay on time—Potje takes care of everything.
P.S. You deserve to be the "Money Boss."
The YOLO Spender: The life of the party
Your motto is, "Money comes and goes, but memories are forever." You’re the one convincing the group to book that last-minute trip or festival tickets. You have that Golden Retriever energy that everyone adores, but you forget that the idea is not enough—planning is necessary. You can’t have everyone else planning your idea.
Strength: You’re carefree, chill, and fun to be around.
Struggle: Your forgetfulness sometimes stresses the group.
How Potje helps: We keep you on track so that your friends stop complaining about your forgetfulness. We got your back!
The Team Player: The reliable one.
You’re the glue holding the group together, the calming strength. Always fair and always on time. You see the big picture: the plans are for everyone to have fun, so frustration and fights are not welcome! You believe in teamwork, whether it’s splitting the bill or saving for a big trip. Your motto? "We’re in this together."
Strength: You’re dependable and considerate.
Struggle: You sometimes carry the mental load for the group. It might get overwhelming for you to always listen to others complaining and to try to keep the positive vibes among your friends.
How Potje helps: With Potje, responsibilities are shared. Everyone sees the goal and contributes equally, meaning less pressure and more fun for everyone.
P.S. We’re very proud of you! We understand how exhausting it must be.
The Ghost: We forgot your face.
You’re a blast in person, and you mean to pay your share, but somehow life gets in the way. Your favorite line (and most hated among your friends)? "Oh, I totally forgot! Sending it now…" You’re fun and spontaneous, and everyone loves having you around… until it’s time to settle up.
Strength: You bring great energy to the group, and every hangout with you is memorable.
Struggle: Your disappearance sometimes frustrates and stresses the group while also delaying plans.
How Potje helps: With transparent progress tracking, everyone sees who paid what. Now your friends don’t have to look everywhere for you to pay, and we help you stay on track with automated updates.
Did you find yourself in one of these personalities? Share your results with your friends and see who matches what! Better yet, start a Potje together and save money for unforgettable memories. You might discover that these different styles are the secret to achieving your goals.
