TIL my 'spare change' jar actually had $127 in it after 8 months.

I dumped it out to buy a new kitchen knife and was shocked because I only ever tossed in coins after my restaurant shifts, so hitting that number without even trying made me wonder what other small habits could add up.

Wow, I always thought those jars were kind of pointless. Guess I need to start one.

Honestly those jars are a total game changer. Felt the same way until I tried it last year. Turns out seeing the cash pile up is weirdly motivating. Makes you think twice about small buys.

Huh, never thought about how seeing actual cash changes your brain like that.
