I am kicking myself I never got one of these earlier. I went to the reject shop on my break at work two weeks ago and picked one up for $3. It's one of those large ones with a $20 bill on it. You can't open it unless you use a can opener, so this is good in case I get tempted to open it and spend the contents. So far I have roughly $120 in there, it is probably more as my rough counting in my head is not very up to date. I've been putting any coins I get in it plus any note up to a $20.
Just chucked in another $12.50 in coins actually, and this is all from me not eating junk food, drinking the odd beer, buying the odd snack etc. My aim is to save $2,000 to help fund an airbag kit for my next car. I won't open it till I literally cannot put another coin in it. At this rate, Christmas!
Who else has one of these amazing inventions
I recommend parents buy one for the kids and encourage them to start saving. It might only be little bits here or there but long term it will pay off.
I also put ~$500 into savings in the bank each week, depending on expenses for the week. By November I'll be in a new car and loving it. Who'd have thought saving was so easy? Forgo the little luxuries for a while and live as far within your means as possible and you can save massive amounts of money.
Once I fill and open my $20 tin I'm going to buy another and have it as my modification fund money tin.
Anyone else got one and do the same or similar as me?
