I always have had the habit of putting my change in a piggy bank all the time.
Today at Giant Tiger's there was a bottle which when you put the money in the slot..it counts your money..
Wowow..I have 180.00 in change. That is encouraging. I want to fill up the bottle then put all that money on my credit card and bring it down. I can I believe save up to 1000$ in that bottle.
It is really worth to buy and it is encouraging to see the numbers climb.
Get yourself one..it's really worth it and put a label on it for vacation etc..the kids will love it for themselves also and it will teach them to save.
I'm also going to buy a machine that separates all the coins so I don't have to count the change.
Really am very happy I bought it..

I love saving my change...I do this and twice a year and get about 100.00...I then put it towards either clothes or I do a shopping thing where I get things that we really need. I use to use it for when we went on trips, but since we dont do trips much anymore it goes now towards necessities...LOL but I will continue to save my change and one day I can use it for fun stuff again....LOL
that bank sounds really cool, I have two jars that I use that are decorative.

Absolutely, now I can watch the money add up and will be encouraged to put all my change in it.
I want to have 1000$..put it all on my credit card, thus it will lower it and give me a credit report.
I use my credit card very wisely and only when it is important to use. so now am really going to put all my change and when my son comes over..I will tell him to empty his pockets hahahaha.
