Putting every little penny away for a rainy day

I am trying to get back into my old habits of saving money by collecting every penny, nickel, dime, or quarter and putting them into a jar. This saving behavior started when I was young when my parents encouraged me to save. They told me you have two choices, save money or pay us rent. Of course, I decided to keep the money myself. This parental guidance help me save over $30,000 before I got married even working part time jobs due community colleges decisions to save money by not paying employees benefits. On Saturday, October 31, 2009, I was able to deposit $33.00 from change collected in a three-week period and generated .01 cents in interest.
