A Gift Idea To Get Children Started On The Right Foot
Sure, we’ve all heard the expression a penny saved is a penny earned. With the holiday shopping season in full swing, I stumbled across a gift idea that takes this concept to a whole new level.
Gone are the days of my own youth where a piggy bank was a very rudimentary savings device: Slot on the top allowed you to drop coins in. When it came time to spend your savings, out came the hammer. I suppose the genius in the design was the simple motivation not to destroy your bank. Even still, children interested in saving their allowance today have some pretty sweet budgeting advice at their disposal in the form of smart piggy banks.
Rather than the standard one-size-fits-all slot of yesteryear, smart piggy banks divide deposit slots into categories such as saving, spending, giving, and investing. The idea is to get children familiar with these vital budgeting concepts from a very young age.
While a bit more expensive than the traditional model it replaces ($15- 19.99), the smart piggy bank doesn’t have to be smashed to make a withdrawal and best of all stores $300 worth of coins!
