RE: A Fun Way to Save for Kids

It's such a simple concept to teach kids about one of the most important facts of life and it's something they can do themselves with pretty much no effort.
The only trouble is that we're gradually become a cashless society. I don't know what the situation is in America, but in UK, I've barely used coins in the past few years. I think COVID certainly had a role to play in going contactless, plus nit just seems to be the trend to use plastic for everything here. What's not like in America?

It really is simple. I think seeing that they can do this on their own was another motivating factor.
I agree. I felt this way even before covid that eventually the dollar will be irrelevant. As for now it’s still kind of good to have cash in a sense that it’s still used pretty often here. The other part I like about it is it’s something you can see and watch grow physically before your eyes and it seems to be a better motivator of saving when you can an actually “touch” your money.
We just started another money system where we put cash in certain compartments like for car maintenance, personal items, birthdays etc. It’s pretty cool to actually get to move the money around ourselves and then use it as we need.
We always reach for glass over plastic. I was actually looking for a glass jar with a counter like this but could only find this plastic one (I’m sure I could have found one online but I was already right there in the store lol). Our first jar was glass. I have noticed more people switching over and choosing it over the plastics.
