Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. If you wished to climb a 12, 000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15, 000 cost, you have to save $3. 93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1, 434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults.
