Financial Tip Of The Day

Save Your Spare Change (Even The Pennies)

Most people either discard their spare change, or save everything but the pennies. The people that save everything have the right idea. All of the money you discard is actual currency and it adds up. Even though a penny is worth one cent, 100 of them equals a dollar which is always useful. If you never saved your change, try emptying your pockets of change every evening and saving that. By the end of the month, we are sure you will have a good amount of money that you can deposit.
