Meet the piggy bank for the 21st century.™
One slot piggy banks have been around for....centuries.
But the world has changed. Now we have a highly sophisticated financial
system, a system whose complexity has outstripped the ability of most
adults, many of whom grapple with credit card debt, even bankruptcy.
Personal finance education needs to start young. How? With
the same universally loved childhood toy, the piggy bank....but with a
21st century twist! The Money Savvy Pig piggy bank has four chambers,
one for each of the four money management choices a child should be taught
from the time they are small. They are SAVE, SPEND, DONATE, and INVEST.
Why
does it work?
It gives a child a sense of control which leads
to a sense of security.
When you give children the Money Savvy Pig, you give
them control over the money in their lives. In a respectful way, the
Money Savvy Pig asks children what they think is the best choice and
allows them to make it. A sense of control leads to a sense of security.
It's interactive.
In today's world, kids expect things to be interactive.
Like the Japanese saying goes, Tell me and I'll forget...Show me
and I'll remember...Involve me and I'll be changed forever. The
Money Savvy Pig involves the child, but on their terms. This involvement
will give them good money management habits that will last a lifetime.
It encourages parental participation.
The goal setting stickers give parents the opportunity
to discuss choices, their implications, and values appropriate for
each child.
Just as new drivers are given lessons to learn how to
control a car, your child should have a Money Savvy Pig to teach them
how to control money, one of the most powerful forces in life.
