    Thanks to my MOM..I have a cute Piggy Bank..Be it the 5 ruppes/10 rupees collection at the time of Kolu or the 100's at the time of Bday/Diwali , my Mother always insisted me and my brother to drop in to our Piggy's separately...Voila...at the end of our teen age it was a dcent 5 digit amount...

    She always use to say that these money should not be spent /or should be spent for buying some Gold as they are gifted by ppl...Its something similar to the Blessings....

    So that amount is still safely in the Bank and i dont want to spend them..

    I have brought this practice to my Ds also...

    Dear Srividya,
    I used to put only 5 rs coin in a bottle.In a way it makes easy to count at the end apart from savings.

    Hi,

    Thanks SriVidhya for starting a nostalgic post!! :)

    I do have one for my son now..I used to save the money given to him as blessings by his grandparents and other relatives. I got this piggy bank made of mud on his first birthday when I saw money gifted to him for his birthday..that was when I started saving money in a piggy bank...I broke it open on his 3rd birthday and it has summed up to ~15k. I've moved the cash to his SB account and planning to get him something out of it :)

    I've also got a new piggy bank for him and have started saving!! Since he is too young I havent introduced the credit system for giving him money every time hez behaved properly or for some reason or the other...Waiting to implement it shortly :)
