We saved our pennies our entire marriage (still do). When the kids were in elementary school, the whole family spent hours wrapping pennies over a period of time. This was before banks started charging for swapping pennies for dollars. We had enough money to take a wonderful trip to Disney World. We were able to pay for the tickets, on-property hotel and food from our penny savings. Our kids learned a lot about the power of saving from that experience. (Yes, I realize we missed out on the power of compounding interest, but they got that lesson when they were older!)
