Greetings everyone,

Hoping that everybody is healthy and happy today. A few days before I brought my son Carlo to a barbershop to take a haircut and we decided to get into a mall after to buy something since it is near already. Suddenly, we passed by these piggy banks at one side.

(I don't know if we can call piggy bank even if they're not pigs shapes 😁😂).

I remembered that I have an accumulated coin at home but it's awful to think I'm always tempted to get some if I need some coin so that means I'm not consistent with my savings. We immediately stop there and inspect the piggy banks, some are tight close so you have to open the piggy banks if you need the inside but some are easy open ones. After that I let my son Carlo pick one for me and he picks the sky blue with a pink cap piggy and told me that this one mama and I ask him why and he responded to me that it was easy to open I was laughing so hard then because I was bothered by my savings at home because I'm always tempted to open it whenever I need it and now he want me to pick the easy open one😂😂😂. I badly need to buy a piggy bank that I can't open easily so maybe by the end of the year or we have something emergency I can use it and so I let myself choose and I explained to Carlo why.

This is the one I choose and the white one is where I save my old and new 10 peso coins.

Upon arriving home my son Carlo happily shared about it to his younger brother so I immediately untied the piggy bank and get my saving so we can transfer them to our new piggy bank. I let the two kids do it and I can feel they're enjoying and excited.

Unfortunately buying that piggy bank is not a plan but I'm happy to bump into it. Every time my children can hold money they always think to put on our new piggy but then I told them that we have to only save 10 peso coins in that so we can stock as much as we can and we can open it in December so we can buy good stuff for you this Christmas and they both agreed and in my old piggy bank, they place their one peso coins so they also save it but some times just like me they are tempted to get some and buy goods to the sari-sari store.

Let's see how much we can save and will probably let you know if we succeed.

Thanks for reading this 😉.

Have a lovely day!

I bought my kid a cat shape one, like 2 months ago, it is still empty LMAO I'm such a bad mom i need to give my kid money to put there.

Haha, I guess so you should have by now or else it would be empty forever 🤣. Good thing your kid doesn't like to ask for money from you, my kids like to ask me for money almost every time because they like to put something on their piggy bank every day now I'm having a hard time with these savings now 😁.
