However, there are people who make sacrifices and deprive themselves of some pleasure in order to save a small amount of money to materialize a dream without getting into debt.
Just as the protagonist couple of the following story did, who one day decided to fill a jug with coins. Once it was full, after four years, they decided to open it to count the amount they managed to save, going viral on TikTok by sharing their experience.
The story was shared by a young woman from Bogotá, Colombia, who, through her account @buitragozzzz, published a recording in which, under the text “POV: We spent years filling it and it was finally achieved”, she can be seen next to a boy, who with the help of a knife begins to break the jug.
After cutting the jug and emptying the coins on a black oilcloth, placed on the floor, in the center of a room, before the end of the recording, both can be seen counting coin after coin and ordering them according to their denomination.
