Do You Save Your Coins?

Tweet

I have several “PIGGY” banks, in which I save all my change. I put quarters in my Cookie Jar though. Then, I have three piggy banks. One for pennies, one for nickels and one for dimes. I also save $2 bills in a teapot. When I get so many coins, then I roll them and take them to the bank and put them in my Emergency Fund. You would be surprised how quickly the coins can add up. A wise person should always save something from every paycheck. I remember when the banks used to offer a “Christmas Fund” account, where so much money was automatically taken out of your checking account and transferred to your “Christmas” account every week. If a person saved just $5 a week, it would be $260 at the end of the year. When it is done automatically, you don’t miss it as much, they say. But, really a person should save, at least, $5 a week, every week, just to have something to count on in case of an emergency. But, most people live from paycheck to paycheck with nothing going into a savings account. It’s a dangerous way to live. What do you think?
