<\/p>\nSaving money is a wise habit that will help you prepare for unforeseen events, medical emergencies, and potential unemployment. <\/p>\n
The truth is that not all of us have the consistency needed to maintain it over a long period of time. However, <\/p>\n
this was not the case for a man from Monterrey, Mexico, who for two years continuously topped off the piggy bank and shocked the entire Internet with the outcome.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
User @Jesnis_extensiones of TikTok detailed the process of counting the money her father had saved for two years in a series of videos. <\/p>\n
She had first had some reservations about her father’s money because she regularly observed him putting coins in the bank.<\/p>\n
In the first video, Jes states, \u2018He says he has put in about a thousand pesos a week,\u2019 and you can see that the piggy bank is already overflowing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The user sparked dozens of responses by saying, \u2018My dad says that whoever comes closest to the amount of money will receive $500 MXN,\u2019<\/p>\n
in an attempt to determine the precise sum. Some computed an approximate $100,000 MXN by multiplying $2,000 MXN every week over two years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The moment they smash open the piggy bank to find coins and several notes is captured in the video below.<\/p>\n
The user said, \u2018I wish I could have my father’s level of thriftiness,\u2019 as the entire family gathered around the floor to count the items her dad had amassed over the previous 2.5 years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018Wow, that’s a lot! In a third video, the complete family is shown gathered counting money, and she says, \u2018I don’t think we’re going to finish soon!\u2019<\/p>\n
Such discipline to not spend any money, she exclaimed. There were also dollars and large-denomination bills, as can be seen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After several hours of counting, they had amassed over 250,000 Mexican pesos in bills alone; but, because it took so much time to separate the coins, they opted to weigh the coins instead.<\/p>\n
In the end, the man had saved a total of $324,640 MXN, or about $19,096 USD, after adding the sum of the coins and the amount in bills.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The user admitted that her father is a butcher and that he would spend all the money he had saved to purchase more meat for his company in the final segment of the video.<\/p>\n
It is unquestionably admirable to have the perseverance and resolve it takes to be able to regularly save for such a long time. We hope that these videos, <\/p>\n
