Do you own a piggy bank? what do you do with the money in this bank when it gets full? I used to have a piggy bank and I used the money to live such as grocery shopping trips.

Yes i do own a piggy bank aside from my bank account. When it is already full sometimes i take it to the bank and have it deposited. Sometimes i just take out the coins and change it for bills or buy anything that I want :)

I have an old jar where I throw all my spare change and then try to let it build up over a year and then use it to buy something special than I normally wouldn't waste money on. But when needs must and money is tight it's nice to be able to dip in to the jar and use it for essentials.

Our children at home owns. They use it for increasing their savings account in the bank. A good habit to be taught when they are young.

i use to own a piggy bank some years ago. now its pretty much about plastic now a days. for me especially. i hardly have or carry cash. i only have my debit or credit card. but i think buying a piggy bank might be a good investment.

i used to have one, but i always steal from it. i'm really good at getting the coins inside, even if the piggy bank doesn't have an opening, i could get it from thee coin slot. :)

I used to have a piggy bank, but i feel bad everytime I open it at times of need. I have learned to love this cute coin bank so tearing it apart or breaking it into pieces is a real ordeal for me. I usually use money from my piggy bank for emergencies.

Hi, I don't own a piggy bank, but I own a Paypal account. I used to have a piggy bank. I was excited about it until, one day I discovered the trick to get money out of it without breaking it. Thanks. God bless you.

If you brake the piggybank whenever you need money than the investment is equal to zero.

I don't have piggy bank, but I place some money in some secret place and don't remember how much I placed at that place, even though I remember the place I don't like to use the money placed there, when there is an urgent necessity, I search my secret places and that money saved me many times.

Well no i don't own a piggy bank but i do put my change in a jar.Its amazing the amount of change that adds up from occasionally dropping some pocket change in to it daily.I Once emptyed a few jars and had several hundred dollars worth of change.I bought the rolls and made it to the bank to cash in caching.Some people just throw pennies away, i think it is wise to save them and cash them in every few months or even once a year.

Well, kind of. I use a big bottle to put coins in. Once the bottle (a plastic one) is full, I take it to the bank and put the money into my savings account. It sounds weird, but all those coins really add up!

I used to own a piggy bank when I was a kid but I end up withdrawing everything inside after a week, silly me!

I have my own piggy bank aside from my bank accounts. I always believe in saving for the rainy days. And yes, I use the money saved for emergency. It is very useful.

I don't own a piggy bank anymore. I used to own a piggy bank as a kid and my Dad used to give me coins as pocket money. My sister also had a piggy bank and we made it out of small tins in the house. Those days were fun and I miss those days. I am twenty eight years old now and I don't have any piggy banks anymore. I have a bank account and I like to save money there. But, since I am not making money now I am not saving anything. I am just spending the money I save the last few years. I am looking forward to start working and save money.

I don't have, but I asked my son to have one. We put all the coins that we do not usually need, like 5 to 25-centavo coins, and gives it to the church when it gets full.

Yes, I do own a piggy bank, in fact I have a small piggy bank beside my computer right now and I can see it. I love pig stuff.. piggies are cute to me (fake ones of course) I have pig stuff animals as well :) I have not had this pig full yet and when I do, I probably will just put the money in the bank.. I just started.. not much in it yet though.. few bucks/coins.

Yes, I own a piggy bank.. When it's full, I use the money to buy groceries, whatever I need at that moment.
