Saving Gets a Modern Makeover
“A penny saved is a penny earned.” The concept of saving is as old as money itself, as is the human resistance to it. Spending is oh so satisfying in the moment, and oh so regretful as we load the bag of discarded things into our trunk for yet another thrift store donation. Though the concept of saving is nothing new, a slew of modern tools, strategies, and gizmos are making saving a bit more fun (and successful). Here are a few of our favorites.
Moonjar
A fabulous first step for the preschooler in your life, the Moonjar bank makes the “spend, save, give” strategy visual and attractive. Simple, colorful, and effective.
PiggyBot App
The piggy bank now has a digital twin. Similar to the Moonjar model, PiggyBot tracks goals and calculates a save/spend/share breakdown. A clean user interface makes it perfect for young kids.
FamZoo
Mom and dad: you’re the bankers now.
