Do you stash your pocket change to save up money?

Yep! I am also doing the Save the change thing on my bank account! It puts all of the change into my savings accoutn!

Yes, I agree with you that saving money like this helps us to earn more all the time. We can save all changes and it can become big amount.

I will be honest, if it is anything more than a penny, it's gone. I have a container with over five dollars in pennies in it. I am saving them for an emergency, it would have to be very important for me to want to be bothered with them.
I have been saving them for a little over two years and I don't plan on needing to spend them for a very, very long time. Several times, I have come close to spending them up, but I have not had to yet, which is pretty cool.

i don't get much change to save even though i think ur idea is good and can b really helpful keep saving best of luck

yes i do and i also think that it is a good way to save the change in case you need it for an emergency or if you need it in the middle or the end of the month which is a problem to me.lol i try to save up all of my change at the begining of the month and than use it at the middle or the end if i needed to.if not i dont touch it and use it only if it is nesecarily.this way when i need the money it will be right there at my fingertips.even though it is hard to keep it out of my mind not to touch it i still try to save it up every month.thanks for asking as i think all of us need to save some change back for a rainy day if needed.
blessed be

I always save my change,cause i think if I have more money that i can do something i want to do .such as traveling and shopping...Anyway,money is a good thing in our life.Saving more is better than not.

Of course, I have been doing this for years. Last time I cashed in my coins I had $72.00 and they wre getting kind of heavy.

Another easy way to save a little - when you enter deposits in your checking account only add in the dollars. When you subtract money you spent, ALWAYS go up to the next higher dollar. This way you save between 1 -99 pennies for every entry (unless it really does end in .00). This is a painless way to save and in just a couple of months you have a nice little cushion built up.

I do something similar to what you do. I roll the change, and put the change away in a box in a closet (out of sight, out of mind). The next time I have to roll change, I go into my purse and exchange bills with the change I have already rolled and then deposit the rolled change into my bank account (the box doesn't break that way!). When I rack up enough singles, I replace them with larger bills. It's a game for me.

I also do something else. I told my boyfriend that every once in a while I was going to take a dollar out of his wallet, and that when I did, I would match it with a dollar from my purse, and those dollars would go into the hidden box. I also told him that I wasn't going to tell him when I was doing it and that I would only do it if I knew he had enough money in his wallet that he wouldn't even know I took it. I did this every few days for a few months and he never noticed (even though he knew I was doing it!). Our secret stash ended up giving us almost $200 extra to gamble with on our last trip to Las Vegas.

Our new plan is to do exactly the same thing, only instead of hiding it in a box in a closet, we will be opening an interest-bearing savings account.

Oh yea,both my dad and I do that.Whenever we get change,we put it in our Garfield bank and whenever it gets filled,we take it to the coinstar machine to be coverted to bills then we deposit it in the bank.of course that also goes towards us going back home.We also pick pick up any change we see on the ground.It's mostly pennies but they do add up .I have also found quite a few nickles,dimes and I found a quarter once.

Yeah, I also often dip into the jar when I need a couple dollars too. It comes in very handy.
