Neglected Piggy

Now that you've emptied that Piggy Bank out and have deposited your funds into your Savings Account. Do you just throw it away? Absolutely not! There's plenty more things for that Piggy Bank to do! In fact I have two, although the other one is a jar. That Piggy bank is now a home for your Loose change. Loose change is the stuff that you find in your pockets, jacket, cleaning the car, even the random coin on the sidewalk or the money that falls out of the washer or dryer! Bet you want to pay more attention to the laundry chore now. All of that is loose change and can be put into your Piggy bank! Fill that bugger up! Soon as it's full take it to the Bank and put it into your account and start again!


5$ Dollar FUND!
Another thing you can do, for those of us that have loose change consisting of small bills and pocket change can do something a smidge more productive and create a 5$ fund. Every time you come back from a shopping trip or empty your pockets if there's a loose five dollar bill take it out and put it in your Piggy bank or jar! At the end of the month take it to the bank and turn it in to your Savings account you'd be shocked at how quickly that adds up! If you can't spare 5$ try 1-2$ but never CHEAT! In fact I'm making that a Rule

RULE #1 FOR BECOMING RICH! NO CHEATING
Meaning that if you set yourself a goal such as the 5$ fund don't go putting just two dollars into it. Break down and put in a 5 and walk away. Don't take it back out! Once your money's in that Piggy Do Not Touch!
