This piggy bank introduces the notion of charity and directs attention toward others less fortunate
Some problems require looking at things with a new perspective. We live in a country with a very low savings rate but a new piggy bank for children might be able to teach good habits to them at a young age. The banks were designed by a studio called Materious and have an interesting concept that links savings and philanthropy.
The larger bank is for the child’s own money and the samller one is for charitable giving and “the two nestle together as a reminder that generosity and wealth should be linked. This is a really good idea as it marries the two concepts together very well. At our Sparkpoint Centers, we hand out piggy banks to clients to remind of the importance of saving. Part of reaching financial stability, along with a reducing debt, and getting a good credit score, is having three months of savings.
The piggy banks can be purchased here.
