I
used to have a spare change jar. I still do have one but prior to my vacation it was all pennies. Pennies are a real pain in the ass. Really 99.9 percent of peoples change jars are composed of pennies. I don't really know that's just my guesstimate. So after my vacation in NJ I decided to start my change jar again. I gave myself a strict set of rules. Once I break a Dollar I don't use any of the coins at all. I then put them in my big pretzel jar. I'm setting a goal where I don't use any coins so i can save them for something I want. I used to have a bad habit of spending the quarters nickels and dimes instead of the dollar bills in my wallet. So I have a solution for my coin problem.
Starting a coin jar is a great way to save money in my opinion. You can set a goal and aim towards that goal. It will add up if you commit to it. Trust me it is working for me.
What you'll need.
