The Story of my piggy bank. As a child I always had a piggy bank, as an adult I have put the change from my pocket in a mug or cup. A good habit to develop! When it got full, I would roll it and either deposit it to a savings or use it for something. Several years ago, I found a large size piggy bank on sale, and bought it. I just kept "feeding" it until it was full, almost a year's worth of change. (Also I never pass up a coin on the floor or ground, it feeds the pig)
I had been saving to buy a large screen TV for sometime, one was on sale, but also a surround sound and Bluray. I did not have quite enough saved. Then I remembered I had not emptied my bank in quite some time. You would think I hit the jackpot! It held enough along with my savings and a paycheck with extra hours, to buy the TV, Surround, and Bluray! ALL ON SALE! It paid to wait, save, and time my purchase for the closeout sale.
Since then, I keep feeding that pig, almost everyday. Whenever I empty it, I think of that purchase and how even pennies add up to make a difference. Patience, discipline pays off. So I happily feed the pig.
