Good for you Phil
I thinks it is important to reward ourselves with the money we have saved. I liked no more cig's idea of having a goal for her savings i.e. new camera/mobile phone.
I myself write my savings on a post-it every morning and stick it onto the front of the microwave where I can see it and then I go and spend a chunk of it. For example I went out and spent �70.00 on make-up and I allowed myself to get what I wanted. I went home and threw out all my old stuff and it felt super indulgent and great.
If you had that �500.00 what would you spend it on? Keep putting the �5.00 into the jar and you'll have that �500 really soon - in time for spring in fact.
Fantasise - what would you get - it doesn't even have to be sensible. But definitely spend that money on yourself.
All the best

Saving money in a jar would be amazing! Then you can treat yourself and your family to many wonderful things :)
Keep Strong,
