Monique Ruffin: The Journey to Very Poor
For Pregnant Women With Cancer, Chemo Possible
Money-savvy pig
Filed under: Work Life, Development/Milestones: Babies
Yesterday, as I was daydreaming about what to do with
US$365 million, I was kindly slapped back to reality by Caitlin, who turned me
onto this fantastic Money-Savvy pig.
Rather than wait for the millions to roll in the lottery way, I could use this clever porcine figure to save some money
-- and teach my daughter how to manage her money as well. Unlike the traditional single slot of most piggy banks,
this pig has four slots, each labeled "save," spend," "donate" and "invest,"
accordingly. Each chamber, once filled, exits through a different piggy-foot. And at only US$15.99 each,
the price is more than worth the lesson it teaches.The company ships to all 50 of the United States (including APO/FPO address), U.S. territories and Canada only. Pity -- they won't ship to our home.
But I'll find a way. Because once I do, I'll finally have something to do with all my infernal pennies.

Caitlin said...I bought 2 myself. One for our house and one for my parents' house. My grandpa used to keep a piggy bank in his laundry room, and any loose change that was in clothes was transferred to that piggy bank.
We used to count the money in there, and if we were correct, then we got to keep half of it. I love math, so I thought it was a great way to extend my grandfather's preschool math lesson. This makes it easier to see fourths, and eventually eighths (half the money divided by four stays in the bank).
