Almost everyone has spare change jangling in their pockets or lying forgotten in drawers and so did I. After years of burgeoning wallets and coins tucked away in drawers, I decided to start a Penny Jar. What if you too could turn that overlooked nuisance into a powerhouse of benefits? Starting a penny jar might seem like child&#8217;s play, but it&#8217;s an underrated practice that can teach anyone young or old about savings and wealth building.
1. Boosting Financial Awareness
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-303941" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060904/image-161.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Collecting pennies might feel trivial, but it&#8217;s a simple act that can significantly heighten your financial awareness. Watching your jar slowly fill up makes you more conscious of your spending and saving habits. It&#8217;s a visual and tangible form of money management that can teach valuable lessons about budgeting and financial planning.
2. Emergency Rainy-Day Fund
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-303942" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060916/image-162.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Ever find yourself scrambling for a few dollars for unexpected expenses like parking or a tip? A penny jar can become a handy emergency fund for these small, yet urgent, expenditures. Over time, those pennies add up, and it&#8217;s always a relief to have a little extra cash on hand when you need it most.
3. Reducing Clutter
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-303945" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060926/image-163.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Instead of letting loose change clutter your home or weigh down your purse, consolidate it in a penny jar. This not only tidies up your space but also helps you reclaim those forgotten coins that otherwise might have been lost or thrown away.
4. Teaching Tool for Kids
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-303947" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060944/image-164.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
A penny jar is a fantastic way to teach children about money. It&#8217;s a hands-on educational tool that can help kids understand the value of saving. Plus, it&#8217;s exciting for them to see their money grow over time, which can encourage a lifelong habit of saving.
5. Unexpectedly Fun Hobby
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-303948" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/23060949/image-165.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Who knew saving pennies could be a hobby? For some, the thrill of finding and adding new coins to their collection can be genuinely enjoyable. It&#8217;s a quest to see how much you can save and how full you can get your jar. Plus, it&#8217;s always a pleasant surprise to count up the total and see how all those little contributions have added up.
