A piggy bank that will allow your savings to be a bit better organised.

With most people worried about how much a new baby will cost one company has launched a piggy bank that will allow your savings to be a bit better organised.

Rather than simply ask you to throw all your money in one pot, The Money Savvy Pig piggy bank has four chambers, for each of the four money management choices it says a child should be taught from the time they are small.

They are Save, Spend, Donate and Invest.

Of course you'll still be able to crack the bank open with a large hammer, but hopefully it will teach them something about the importance of allocating their pocket money.

The Money Savvy piggy bank comes in a variety of colours and is see thru so you can even get excited about seeing those fivers tucked in amongst the 2 pence pieces.

The Pig costs $14.99, however annoyingly the company currently only ships to the US and Canada.

I'm wanting to buy 4 of the piggys with the divider, but I just read where you crack open with the hammer to the pigs to get to the money. Am I reading that right. Do you have a bank where we can us it over again. Because we will fill it up fast and losing it and can' use it again. Plus t's alot of money to smash. Posted by rosezita, usa
Each leg has a chamber plug-they even sell replacement plugs, should a child lose one. Posted by susan, usa
