If you are concerned about boosting your retirement fund, why not find as many ways as possible to add more money to your account. Many people boost their retirement account by collecting coins. These could be valuable coins or they could be as simple as spare change from your purchases throughout the month.
Learn how to boost your retirement fund with coins:
1. Save all your change and every so often make a deposit to your retirement fund.
2. Collecting valuable coins. Start a new hobby of collecting valuable coins that you can cash in one day after they have increased in value. The money from those coins can be deposited into your retirement account.
Ways to Collect Change:
1. Commit to saving your change and not spending any of it.
2. Make collecting change fun and easy. How many times have you gone through a drive-thru to buy lunch or a coffee and received a handful of coins in change? These are the coins that you want to save for your retirement. To make it easy on yourself, setup a spot in your car where you can put all this spare change. Perhaps you can use a clean coffee cup, or if you are a woman, perhaps you have a coin pouch in your purse that you can use.
3. Many people enjoy collecting their spare change. They love watching it grow. Find a container or canister that you no longer use at home and begin putting your change in there. Put it in a private place in your home where you will see it often so that you will know that you are saving money.
4. Transfer your coins to your retirement account. Make a plan as to how often you will take your change to the bank. Maybe it will be at the end of every month or maybe every six months. You can roll the coins yourself and take them to the bank or you can take small amounts to the bank and have them count the coins for you. Have all of the change deposited directly into your retirement account.
You may have noticed that some stores have change counter machines that you can use to count your coins. The machines charge you a commission based on how much change you put in them. These are not the greatest idea for someone that is trying to save money.
