Do you know how valuable your pocket change is? At a time when my spending was not being done with the most important things first. I found myself suffering without food in my pantry but new shoes on my feet (smh). I knew something had to change. And change is exactly what I decided to work with in order to change my situation. I thought it would be a good idea to get a piggy bank going.. but not just your old regular childhood coin bank. I wanted a challenge that I would enjoy doing while saving some good loot.. I just had to keep my head in the game. I thought a specific size container would help me with realizing my goal. I also figured I would only use dimes. This would keep the game fun and challenging since I rarely acquire dimes and for its small size the dime holds pretty good value. I ended up using an empty candle canister about the size of a coke can. I labeled it my dime bank and made an easy deposit slit on the top of it. It would take about a month to fill and it would yield about $30 every time. I decided this would be my unnecessary expenses money. I would focus on my bills with my check and use my dime bank to buy make-up, shoes or anything else that I wanted but did not need. Before this challenge I paid little attention to my pocket change. Now I am inspired to count what I have in my pockets and make the best use of it. I hope this inspires you to make a challenge of your own and realize how fun and beneficial this could be to your monthly budget.
