When babies are born, parents usually start thinking about saving for college. But one football-obsessed dad wanted to start saving for tickets to see a football game.
Once his son was born, the dad started collecting loose change and storing it away. This continued for years. Then, once his son was old enough, the dad rolled all of the change he'd collected and took it to his bank.
He had collected over $750, which would cover two tickets to see the Green Bay Packers. The guys put on their favorite jerseys and headed for the game, excited to finally be watching their team in person.
The dad posted about his savings on the popular image sharing site, Imgur. More than 269,000 people have viewed the photos and another 576 people have commented. The dad showed off a photo of all his rolled change and two photos at the football field.
