I chose this gift for my 6-year old grandson and he was fascinated with the idea of the different areas in which to save money for yourself, to help others, have some spending money, and to invest. He's quite young to grasp all this but he has a head start on learning about it with the Money Savvy Pig.  Best of all his parents had just been talking about teaching money concepts to their kids. This gift is a winner.

My kids are thrilled with the Money Savvy Pig and the Cash Cache! When I gave my kids their Money Savvy Pig and Cash Cache they both went into their rooms and were quietly gathering their money together and were very excited about this. My son who is six is using the Money Savvy Pig and has put all of his allowance money into "save" and said that he will not spend any of it. He wants to save for a Hummer limo (just what every teenager needs) when he turns 16 so he can drive all of his friends around. My daughter, who is 16, loves the Cash Cache and has put money into all of the compartments but most of it into "spend," unfortunately taking after me. So I guess I have a few things to teach them but this is good! Now I just need to remember to give them their allowance money.

My son has learned about lots of things at school. But what he learned in the Money Savvy Kids program is by far some of the most relevant because it will enable him, as an adult, to stand on his own feet financially.

This is one of the best ever ideas to help parents teach their children the importance of saving, investing and contributing to charities and causes of THEIR choice but still treat themselves to a little spending. Great self esteem builder and nest egg builder.

I would like to share a moving story with you. We went through the lesson about charity last week and it had a huge impact on several of my students. This morning I opened the classroom door and an excited student greeted me with a bag of coins and bills and told me he and his sister had worked all weekend to earn money for the food bank. I was a little taken aback. I asked him what food bank he was referring to, and he said it was for the food bank my sister directs. He has never met her, and the food bank is not even in our area. He just took to heart the importance of giving to charity, and he knew my sister directed a food bank. I talked to his mom and I found out that he and his sister (who is also in my class) worked all weekend walking dogs and selling lemonade and cookies! The Money Savvy Kids lessons are powerful!

I just have to let you know that we are really enjoying the MSK@Home program. Our girls look forward to our Sunday night "family class". It's even more fun to hear the vocabulary being used often and in context. This is a fabulous way to open discussions and raise awareness about money and how we use it. Those little "Aha" moments that they experience in our daily lives as consumers are amazing. With gratitude,

I am purchasing my third bank for our youngest who just turned three! This has been a great learning tool for my older two girls and I am very thankful this bank has all four categories into one which makes it easier to teach them about saving, investing, donating and spend! I don't want my kids to go through financial challenges like most Americans are doing today. Hopefully by teaching them now about money this will help avoid tough financial times later in life.
