Hi, Navio here!



Look at these shiny coins! How much do you think these coins sum up?

I’ve been waiting for so long so that I can share this story with you guys. 


It was 2 years ago, when I discovered this saving bank at the 100 Yen Shop. 


In Japan, we call this thing a Chokinbako.



There are words written on them,


“¥300.000 CAN BANK”


“GET DREAMS for ¥100.000”


and so many others. 



Some of them come with cute designs of pups and kittens, a world map, the 10.000 Yen bill picture, etc. 


At that time I was like, “You gotta be kidding me, ¥300.000 in a small bank like this. I’ll give it a try”

So yeah, just like that, whenever I got a ¥500 coins as change when buying things in the convinience store, supermarket, I hestitate on using them. 


Instead, I started to fill the bank.

Just like this.

I choose the plastic one so that I could encourage myself to put more and more into it.

Days past, and here we are! 


It’s finally full, I couldn’t put more into it. It’s time to count them up!

So yeah, the “Get Dreams!” word isn’t a lie after all. 


Here’s a picture of ¥300.000 in coins for people who wonder. I reached the goal in 2 years!



Thinking of starting to save up? 


You should! Set a goal! These kind of saving boxes will come in handy! It won’t cost you more than a mere ¥108.


I think I will buy a new one tomorrow. 


Wanna compete with me on who can fill the saving bank faster?
