Adrianna Rodriguez Had thought about ways to slow down her over expenses and learn to save money when she came up with the idea of ​​getting a piggy bank.

So the 17-year-old ordered a pink home bank online and when it arrived, it sat down to mount it. It only took her 30 minutes to put together – it even came with her own jewels. From the beginning, her plan was to contribute $ 40 from her compensation each week, along with 35% of all the money she earned from a babysitter, until August.

“I wanted to set aside some money so that when I go to college I have a little personal fund to use,” says high school exclusively. “It’s my goal and I plan to stick to it. There is no specific sum of money that I reach against, just a time frame that I want to complete.”

To prevent himself from opening the bank, Rodriguez only gave the code to one person: her boyfriend, Jay, whom she has been with for almost a year. While she loves her parents and sisters, she knew that her boyfriend-who has a seat in the front line for her expenditure habits-Nordgrig would give her the code unless she needed it.

“I think we both knew he was the best option to keep it closed,” she says. “He was excited to know that I not only trusted him enough, but that his dream that I actually spent my money would come true, because he has the code.”

“I didn’t think my parents would even entertain the idea of ​​a piggy bank,” she adds. “I also think my sisters would have forgotten the code right after creating it.”

When the northern Virginia Local went to spend money in the bank for the first time, she recorded the moment on the camera. Later she published that to TiktokWrite on the video, “I because I can’t save money for me so I prayed a piggy bank that only my boyfriend has the code for.”

Rodriguez thought it was fun enough that hopefully a girl out there with a boyfriend who had bad spending habits would feel her pain. It turns out that her video hit the jackpot, as it went viral, collected more than 17.3 million views and 8,000 plus comments.

“The comments are all on the same subjects,” she says. “People who related to me or boyfriends who tagged their girlfriends and said they would buy this for them. However, there were people in the comments that just blew away from my confidence in my boyfriend.”

“I got lots of comments that suggested that he would try to steal the money, which many other comments were offended by,” she adds. “I think it’s fun to know what kind of easy and friendly person my boyfriend is, I couldn’t imagine he even injured an error, let alone steal my pink bedazzled piggy bank.”

Despite the negative comments, Rodriguez knows that if there was an emergency and she really needed the money, she could go to Jay and ask for the code.

“To begin with, I tried to trick my boyfriend into giving me the code – this didn’t work – and it was a bit dramatic of me in the beginning, how much I wanted to open it,” she admits. “But honestly, at this point, I don’t even think about it.”

“This has not affected us in a negative or positive way,” she adds their relationship. “We never even discussed it outside me just sent videos of me to spend the money. It was just a focus in the conversation when it burst, and it was just something we were both excited for me.”

“I hope people just understand that this is a much easier situation,” she adds. “I’m just a girl who wants to save a little fund before going to college after this summer and be able to open it in a few months and enjoy what I have worked on. I also hope that people take on their own money -saving adventure. I think the best way to do serious things is to make it fun and fun for you to keep me.”
