Mae West said, "you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." William W. Purkey added and said that in life "you've gotta dance like there's nobody watching. Love like you'll never be hurt. Sing like there's nobody listening. And live like it's heaven on earth."

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. The secret about life lies in living. Chinua Achebe says a man must live. You must live to experience life. Despite the numerous economic challenges, we cannot lose the will to live.

Covid-19 has messed up lives. Separated families and everywhere one turns, there is a strange fear reigning the atmosphere. One good thing about this is that it has made us realize the need to be together, need to embrace technology, and need to live.

The Easter holidays are fast approaching. Kids have closed school apart from those sitting their national examinations and a time to come together as a family is here with us once again. How are you planning to celebrate this Easter?

Going on holiday

This is time to unwind and relax. And there is no better way than going on a holiday, to the Coast or any other part of the country. Given that kids in lower classes are already at home after the closing of schools, it is the perfect time to come together and bond with the family.

Covid-19 has not been very friendly to the economy. Businesses have shut down and over 2 million people have lost their jobs. World Bank says a similar number in Kenya has moved into abject poverty. That holiday might eat deep into your savings.

But don’t worry. If you bank with the Co-operative Bank of Kenya, you are halfway there. The bank has partnered with Bonfire Adventures to give you a 7 percent discount if you will book for your safari and pay using any of your Co-op Cards.

If you book your holiday to Diani via Bonfire Ventures, then pay using any of your Co-op Cards, such as Co-op ATM, you will automatically receive a 7 percent discount leaving you with some cash for other expenses.

Going Shopping

As mentioned, Covid-19 has not that kind to people’s pockets. Shopping is no longer as it used to be. The rising cost of living just made things worse. Nowadays, you enter a supermarket with 1,000 shillings and walk out with goods that 100 shillings could buy some few years back.

At such times, saving is the key, and using payment methods that do not hit you with extra hidden charges is the best option. Now, paying for goods and services using a Co-op ATM is actually free. There are no extra charges.

Paying with a Co-op ATM also saves you time because it is fast and instant. The amount deducted is that which you are using to pay for the goods and services.

Staying at home

Covid-19 made us embrace isolating and keep off family and friends. Although we are not out of the woods, staying at home with family this Easter is a great idea. There is nothing greater than family. They will always be there and feel your absence.

You can decide to just watch a movie and have some good time with family now that kids are out of school. While at it, you can opt to pay for goods and services using your cards. You don’t need to leave your house. You can also order a pizza online and pay using your card.

What are some of the advantages of using a Co-op ATM, for instance, to pay for goods and services this Easter?

The 7 Percent Discount

All those booking for their safaris through Bonfire Ventures and paying using Co-op Cards i.e Co-op ATM will receive a 7 percent discount on all their bookings.
