Last christmas, I saw this urn-looking jar in our house and found out it has a mouth which makes it a "piggy bank". Well it's not a pig but it serves the same purpose. Anyway, it was also the same time when I was having money problems 'cause I haven't bought enough gifts for everyone. So I thought, Why not save? I thought it was a brilliant idea so I asked mom if I could take it. She said: Sure, that's the jar your dad bought from an old lady when he was stuck in traffic. He felt sorry for the old lady so he bought 2 of those. Then out of the blue, I heard dad shouting from the room saying: The old lady said those jars bring good luck! I lol'd. So I took it and brilliant ideas just came rushing into my mind like:
1. The piggybank is rob-free. Once I put money in it, I won't be able to get it out again. It's really sealed (unlike my past piggy banks where I can still get some money out of it when I shake it real hard and/or open the secret hole located under the piggy bank).
2. If I start filling it up on January 2012, by the end of the year (probably christmas time) I have tons of money to spend on myself.
3. The only way to get the money inside is by breaking it...with a hammer...'coz it's made of clay.
4. I'll fill it up with paper bills not coins. Why? Because when you think about it, when the time comes you decide to break it, get all the money inside and they're all coins, it would be really hard to carry all of them in your wallet when you go shopping. Plus, it would be embarrassing to the cashier.
Cashier: Ma'am your total is Php 1,525.25
Me: *brings out plastic full of coins and starts counting Php 1,525.25 like a boss*
The next thing you know the line behind you is a mile long.
