So what do you do with your pocket change at the end of the day? Here is a small tip to help you save some money. You just need some motivation to do something.

Remember the old “vacation jar” idea? You won’t even feel it, but if you take that pocket change and put it to work, you’ll have some savings you never thought of. Just keep a big change jar in a visible place in your house. At the end of the day, just dump the change into the jar. Watch your savings grow. Then, pick a time to cash it in. You can plan for what you want to do with your “found money” too!

This plan also encourages you to use cash for daily purchases, which is helpful as well.

Here’s one writer’s take on how to get your savings going:
