She also explained that the money was her husband’s savings for five years.

Woman’s husband saved a total of S$3K
The woman told WeirdKaya that the coins they found in the toilet door amounted to around RM4,000 (S$1,225).
However, combined with the money stored in various tins around their home, their savings added up to a whopping RM10,000 (S$3,062).
When asked why her husband chose the bathroom door as a secret stash for his savings, the woman explained that he used to save in a milk tin, but it quickly filled up.
“Then, he came up with the idea of using the toilet door as his savings spot,” she shared.
Netizens impressed by husband’s unusual saving spot
Many netizens were impressed by the husband’s ingenuity as well as the amount he saved.

However, they also said saving a large amount of money at home may cause the bills and coins to be invalid by the time they are taken out.
They further cautioned against saving paper bills, as these are susceptible to termites.
