2 Years Money Saving Challenge - Breaking my Piggy Bank  

lol your comment made me laugh. yes, finally someone from Canada did this money saving challenge. This is one of the main reasons I shared my Canadian saving money experience/ challenge on RU-vid.

@Bubblez thank you for the comment. We located in Canada so those notes are Canadian dollars.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Actually, I didn't think I can finish this 2 years money saving challenge at the first place since in Canada most people use cards to pay bills. I just slowly collected money from selling stuff on kijiji, lottery ticket money, my weekly pocket money left over.... it was a great challenge. Glad you like my video. Cheers.

Creamy Bucket and I want to save some buck to get the iPhone Xr

Apple haha that crazy because I’ve just got the iPhone XR two days ago it’s a great phone you’ll love it

Creamy Bucket I know that I will love it

Apple I got the blue one

Totally understand your feeling. I waited 2 years to open my piggy bank, didn't participate to open after 2 years, but my piggy bank was full and cant put any cash inside anymore. After the pandemic, I think i will redo my money saving challenge for 3 years. Maybe next money saving challenge can contribute a little bit to our house downpayment in the future.

Wow, your comment encouraged me. I am thinking to do money saving challenge again. Cross my fingers. Thank you for the comment. Have a good weekend and sorry to reply you so late. Cheers.

Wooh hoo

ikr

Hi, thanks for the comment. I made a chart to track and motivate myself to do this money saving challenge. The chart helped me a lot from collecting money that saved daily.

i know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me!

I know it's hard in the beginning. Just tape the piggy bank tight and multiple layer, you'll find saving money is not hard.

Roxy Huang it's real hard

Attiqa Noor literally me right now

Ikr lol

@Flower8 I know it but it’s still hard

Thank you so much for the comment. I think I will do another saving challenge, hope this saving can contribute some to our home purchase down payment. Cheers.

Thank you. For me, it was fun to break my piggy bank and also I finished my 2 years money saving challenge.

Thank you for the comment. Saving challenge for 2 years has changed my habits on spending money. It's great to motivate myself to spend money wisely.

Yeah, it is so hard to save money in Canada, esp in Toronto, living cost is high. I am glad that you are going to do money saving challenge too. It is hard in the beginning but you will get used to it and start to watch how you spend money daily. I also sell stuff I don't use or need on kijiji, then I put into my piggy bank instead of spending it on eating out or buying new clothes. Making a chart to track down your saving helps a lot. Thanks for the comment, have a good one.

Agree with you. It was fun and also motivated myself to spend money wisely. Thank you for the comment, have a good one. Let me know if you start to do your money saving challenge,too. #Canada #Toronto

That is actually not really a good way to save. Good for them thats still an achievement but your money should be making you more money. Not sitting there losing value because of inflation.

Yes, we were super happy when we saw all money we saved in 2 years . When I brought all cash to TD bank, the stuff was amazed the saving work I have done for 2 years and he called his colleges over to help him to count money too. Thank you for the comment. Have a good day.

Thank you for the comment. Yes, it is hard to save money in Canada, glad that my video inspires you and have a good one. Cheers !

You're right sir,

that's why I have to start forex trading 2months ago, now am making constant profit from it .

Natural, there’s a lot of math involved in forex trading,

but this is often presented in forms of daunting technical charts, indicators, patterns.

Trading systems allow you to limit the factor of emotional influence on decision-making,

Thank you for the comment. I was a bit disappointed about the amount that I saved too. The original idea was to use my piggy bank cash to pay off the renovation fee for our new house. However, we are still in the process to buy a new house in Toronto yet. Anyway, it was really fun to pull out all cash and also I learned to spend money more wisely. By the way, I sold a lot of stuff that we don't use anymore on kijiji and gained a lot of cash.

I know, we discussed a lot when we were counting money.

You are welcome. Thank you for the comment.

Yes, haha, but takes effort to make. Thank you for watching my video.

That sounds like a solid and great plan.

Thank you for the comment. I am glad that my video has inspired you for saving money. I have booked a camping trip for this summer. Cheers !

Thank you so much. I am so glad that you like my video and saving money challenge idea. Cheers.

You are an inspiration once this corona virus thing has passed I'm gonna get back to it STAY SAFE STAY HEALTHY WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS

Thank you. It was hard not to dig out money in 2 years, but we felt so great to break it and saw so much money that we have saved for 2 years.

YEAH! Glad my 2 years money saving challenge inspired you. Remember to make your own piggy bank, and make a chart to track your saving, too. once you start to do money saving challenge, you will spend money more wisely and with caution,too.

Canadian dollars😂😂

Thank you for the comment. It's called "miracle melting snowman" we got it on Amazon. The price seems a bit pricey now. I'll check other onlinr stores. Here is the link. Miracle Melting Snowman a.co/d/cbCfJXR

Finally someone noticed my " Miracle Melting Snowman " . My friends from East coast of Canada introduced it to me. When the snowman melts, it makes me laugh loud. My boyfriend purchased it on Amazon for me after Christmas, only few dollars. Thank you for the comment. Have a good one.

Appreciate it! Thank you. 😊

Thank you for the comment. Have a good one.

Yeah, it was cool to do this 2 years money saving challenge. #Canada #Toronto

@@roxyhuang4623 i'm from Indonesia nice too watch your video verry inspiring

Thank you for the comment. Australia is a great country, I travelled there alone before. Hope the fire get controlled soon. Take care.

Wow, that's great. Hope you have as much fun as we did.

You always need rainy day money bro. Invest in as many things as possible but that doesn't mean you shouldn't save

Hi, it is a cooking wine container, the capacity is 5 liters. You can use any empty containers at home, save money from buying a piggy bank. Thank you for the comment. take care and stay safe, cheers.

I'm using a milk jug, and putting cash in it. God bless and take care.

@@caterinarazor5359 Thank you for the wishes. Have a good one.

Thank you for the comment. That was fun to see so much cash when I opened the piggy bank. Make your own saving money plan, the way you feel comfortable and then you will harvest your happiness once the time comes.

Hi, this is a very good question. In Canada, most ppl have TFSA ( Tax free saving account ) , RRSP ( Registered Retirement Savings Plan). My bank withdraws some money into my TFSA monthly and I authorized them to invest for me. RRSP, I normally buy once a year before tax month and I also authorized my bank to invest for me. This Piggy bank's money is the " physical" money I saved for 2 years. My original purpose was for fun, then after few months, I started to take it serious and made a chart to track my process. I was thinking to use this money to pay for renovation or lawyer fee for my house if i do buy one. Unfortunately, I didn't buy a house in 2019 and my piggy bank was too full to put more money inside, that is why I decided to break it. I don't know how high the saving interest rate in your country, in Canada, the interest rate is very very very low, so no point for me to put money into saving accounts monthly. I rather to control my own spending daily and put the money I saved into the piggy bank. If you are curious, how I used the piggy bank money after breaking it, lol, I bought some stocks and so far they are doing well. I don't make a lot of money but I spend money wisely and I cook my own food a lot instead of eating out daily. Thank you for the comment, hope you have a good one.

That is nice amount - keep it up. It is not our business what you did.....some people have no savings at all. Investing is great.

@@roxyhuang4623 Thank you for the answer. It seems you're pretty good with money. Keep it up :)

Can't remember very well now but in the end of video you'll see the exact amount. I think it was around 8500 canadian dollars.

we only used partial money to buy lobsters in the supermarket, also contributed to our RRSP, then buy some stocks. thank you for the comment. cheers.

Yes, esp in Canada. I mean, we use cards to pay our bills mostly. Also because we don't see money " physically", that is why we spend money without thinking too much, only feel sorry for ourselves when we pay our credit card bills.

Hi, it is 1-50 and I redid 7 times, so there were 300 blocks to fill in total. What we did is I put 20 dollars into the piggy bank when we received pay cheques. Monthly our bank withdraws certain amount of money into our TFSA account for investment. If we make extra money from selling household stuff on kijiji or returning bottles/cans to beer store, we put into the piggy bank instead of just spending it. Cheers.

$6,690 USD

not sure, but i know you will have a lot of fun while you break your piggy bank. cheers

Hi, thank you for your comment. The money in the piggy bank is the physical money I save from my weekly pocket money I can use or something I made from selling stuff on kijiji. I also authorize the bank to withdraw money monthly from my account to do TFSA mutual fund investment, too.

I understand why you asked this question, as many people might think in this way,too. We use credit card to pay most bills, but small amount items we pay it by cash. The idea is to spend less money when we go out, the money we saved, goes into the money bank. Besides, we sell stuff we don't use but stay at home, so we sell it on kijiji. Instead of spend those money, I put it into our money bank. Thanks for your comment.

I think from his wallet

@@sheilaarp6453 yes, me too, but I help him save money and spend money wisely.

@@roxyhuang4623 well.thats good then

Hi, living in #Toronto #Canada is not cheap at all. 8000 is the " physical" money we saved in 2 years. Most Canadians pay bills by debit or credit if you are aware. We are talking about 8000 Canadian dollars not 8000 Japanese Yen. Besides, the points are not how much money we saved, it is to spend money wisely and also not to buy things impulsively.

$8,099 dollars was good...better than nothing...some can't save 1/2 that amount in 5 years....so you did good having other expenses. .. GREAT JOB!

The average person doesn't even have anything close to that. $8,000 in 2 years is great

That's great you guys did good 👍 it's hard for me to save when you don't have very much
