Money boxes

[redrobyn]

We have a jar on the dressing table all the loose change goes in there if I need small change I just nick it.

love those counting machines at the bank. Sophia gets all our loose change in her money box and when it is full we go and get it transferred into her bank account. She loves it, it is a real outing for her, she knows which buttons to press on the machine and to take the ticket up to the counter, she has her own bank book and really enjoys the whole process.

In my previous life we had a ceramic money box it was always a nice surprise how much was actually in there.
In my new life my money box is my purse the money doesnt have time to get comfortable

.....I hear you Jen, I still manage it but it takes years to fill now.....unless

...but it seems 2 magical teenage fairies make it disappear!

just one in my case.

Update - took my tin to credit union today - had $448 in it - which has been added to my holiday savings.
took since 28th Oct last year ( I know that because I wrote the start date of bottom of tin with permanant texta )

I have a rule that any money found in pant's pockets before laundering is like Daffy Duck

I always find money in DP's pockets before washing his pants, mostly $2 coins and $5 notes once I found $45 in notes and coins in the one pair of pants! Went straight in my wallet

Frugality and spending is like most things in life - dont go to extremes, find the happy balance.
