Saving coins has been done since the beginning of coins being used for currency. You can probably remember your parents saving their leftover change in a mayonnaise jar until it was full. They counted their change then deposited it in their savings account. This practice kept going throughout their retirement and beyond. Once their balance added up, it was amazing how much money was accumulated through those years. Today, this same practice is done by hundreds of thousands of people.
Many may discount that small change would not add up to much. With consistence and discipline, you can accumulate a lot of money to use to:
*Pay off debts
*Invest in the stock market
*Buy that item you feasted your eyes on
*Save to have money for emergencies
You can use a mayonnaise jar or water jug; here are examples below:
The one on the left is the basic water jug used in water coolers and the one on the right (courtesy of amazon.com) adds up the change as you place it in. A piggy bank is fine as well. Start with pennies first, then move to the silver. Please do not fuss about starting the process and find it beneath them because that change changes into paper (dollar$).
Please leave your comments and share. Until the next post....
Stay Frugal and Proud
