Saving money means not spending your money now, but putting it away to spend in the future. People save their money in all sorts of things; shoe boxes, jars, piggy banks, wallets, purses, or savings accounts.

Hundreds of years ago, a pink-colored clay called PYGG was used to make jars. People stored many things in pygg jars - including their money. Legend has it that one day, someone had the idea to ask a local potter to make a jar out of pygg in such a way that you could not take the money out of it unless you broke it open. This would be a bank made of pygg, or a pygg bank. But the potter misunderstood - instead, he made a clay bank that looked like a pig animal, and in doing so, created the first pig bank - or, as we call it today, a piggy bank.

The creative people at Money Savvy Generation have invented a piggy bank called the Money Savvy Pig that has four slots for you to save your money in. They are labeled save, spend, donate and invest. You can save as much money as you want into these separate compartments depending on what you want to do with the money.
