I Want Those Dimes

I have got to start putting a little money away for Christmas so I have decided that I am going to start saving my dimes in a special jar. I seem to get a lot of dimes so it should add up fairly quick. I know, a dime isn't much but it is better than nothing. I wish I had started this at the beginning of the year. Beings the banks do not have a change counter anymore I will have to stop in and get some coin rollers. That works for me cause I have to go there today. So starting today the special jar will be put out and when I see someone with dimes I will shout out, "I want those dimes." I will need to make sure that I have some other change with me to buy them.

Yes money saved, even if only coins can add up.

You can save a lot of money collecting coins! I had a whole jug one time and I didn't think it was much. Come to find out I made $300 just for coins!

That is a lot. Once Christmas is over I will start again for next year but I might add nickels to it also.

When burglars came to my house, they not stole the money from my beautiful piggy banks, but they also took the piggs I had brought them from my trips around the world. I now think that I´ll just save my money in the Bank. I could open a special vacation´s account and save some money every month.

@velvet53 That theft cost me a lot. I lost money, all my jewelry and a lot of important things for me.

That is sad. Yes, a bank might be best for you.

@marguicha Did they ever find out who did it? I am so sorry for your loss. I would keep everything in safes from now on.

When I lived and worked in my hometown NYC both my mom and me would save up quarters. Between the two of us we had quite a lot. Then we would take them to the bank and go out shopping for the money we had saved.

That is a good way to do it. I hope that some day I can save all of my change.

@velvet53 I think Jay's focus was mainly on quarters and dimes, which really added up fast!

Those dimes when accumulated will be a big amount before you know it.

That's a pretty smart move. I don't spend money on anyone anymore, I simply give them my time and if they need it I'll even go shopping with them if that's what they want. The gift of time can be just as precious.

I do agree. I am not worried about the adults but I am the younger ones.

@rebelann It does. I am giving the older of the three at my youngest sons house money so they can buy a little something. It won't be much though. They know that I won't do what their other grandmother does and spend tons of money on them.

It's sad that we teach children to expect presents for special occasions @velvet53 takes the beauty of the season out of the equation

Small change does add up. I often collect them and after awhile roll and take to the bank.

They sure will. It may not be much but it will help. I found two pennies today to add to my granddaughters bank.
