Money Savvy Pig

I hear that kids today get way more allowance money from their parents than back when I had to walk uphill both ways to get to school. My kids still think money is edible, so we're a ways off from this, but the Money Savvy Pig is a brilliant idea. It's a piggy bank, sure, but it's a lot more sophisticated than a simple receptacle for coins; it has four chambers labeled SAVE, SPEND, DONATE, and INVEST. In an age when many of us live hand-to-mouth, carry loads of credit card debt, and may never see a social security check, it makes sense to start learning about money early.

The coolest part: each chamber empties through its own foot!
