It sounds like you have taught your children well! Love the photo, I have a change jar too and try to save it for something needed for the house!

You need alot of willpower (or should I say 'won't' power.lol) to accumulate much, but it does get easier the longer you practice. I remember from childhood my mom had a coffee can plum-full for the county fair, we had to pull over on the way, I don't remember why, but my mom had set the can on the roof and forgot to get it before we pulled away. well, it landed in a deep ditch with really tall grass...us kids were willing to hunt for it and I think my mom was too but never said so, but my dad said it would take all day and we probably wouldn't find enough of it to make it worthwhile so we didn't go back to look. I can only imagine the joy of the next kid that came walking along that country road. Now we don't forget anything on the rooftop except coffee mugs.lol.

I keep my spare change and I don't touch. Its more of a just in case jar.

Great tip!

I have a glass pumpkin that we throw all our change into. The first Sunday of the month we take it to church for when the little ones collect $$ in their Buddy barrels for "Light for the lost". ( a mission's program) It is so cute to see all the little ones going around with their barrels collecting offering. Even Mr. Owen is allowed to carry a barrel. No surprise but the offerings are quite large.....Pastor often jokes that maybe he should let the little ones collect the regular offerings as well. :O)

I save mine too, and on tight budget weeks I dip into it if I need to, or grab a bunch to go to garage sales.

good lesson

I save my change all year until the Creating Keepsakes convention in May. And then that is what I use to buy supplies that we don't see around here. We are very limited with scrapbooking stores in NH.

March 25, 2008

One of my boys is good with money but the other one spends everything every month. how can they be so different, they had the same mummy??

Great idea!!

great idea!

March 25, 2008

what a great idea. Unfortunately with Debit cards, I usually never have cash or change.

March 25, 2008

oooh what a great idea!!!

March 25, 2008

I really should do this too - but I never has any cash on me to have change left out of - and if I do it pays the parking meters when we downtown to have lunch with my mother at work :)

wonderful tip, I fear my way of doing it is rather....ahhh...well.... dishonest. My husband saves his change too and always has a goal for it, well, it sometimes takes him longer than he thinks to get to that goal as I borrow from it. Borrow? Well, i take SOME.

Great idea. I wished I'd thought of that. When I got my first color printer I charged myself for color prints to pay for the ink. Everybody thought i was silly, but it worked.
