A Unique Approach to Saving Money
In her latest video, Fanny disclosed that they put aside six dollars each time they are intimate. According to them, this practice is an excellent way of saving money while maintaining a healthy romantic relationship. Over a year, this approach enabled Fanny and Jesús to fill three piggy banks with coins, amounting to just under $1,600 in savings. Based on the total savings, their followers calculated that the couple had been intimate about 220 times throughout the year.
"We were surprised. Filling three piggy banks brought us a lot of satisfaction, and we treasured every moment together," Castellanos confessed.
The couple's extraordinary way of saving money gave them immense joy, which they had never experienced. Initially, the duo was saving money for unexpected expenses. However, after Jesús proposed, they decided to use the saved money for their honeymoon.
Combining Pleasure with Pragmatism
Fanny and Jesús plan to continue with their unique saving method. They are also encouraging other couples to try it. Apart from sharing their experiences on TikTok, their story is also covered by American media outlets. Although their video counting their savings went viral, there were mixed reactions among Fanny's followers.
"My piggy bank would be empty," wrote one user. Others wrote, "Some people are lucky to use this method. I'm left to save money alone," or "You've convinced me. I have to try," and "You've combined pleasure with utility. Brilliant."
