Ok.. All you bankers out there!! Who's idea was the "piggy bank"?

Answer 1

"In Middle English, "pygg" referred to a type of clay used for making various household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called "pygg jars". By the 18th Century, the spelling of "pygg" had changed and the term "pygg jar" had evolved to "pig bank."

This name may have caught on because the pig banks were mostly used by children, and the pig is a child-friendly shape that is easy to fashion out of clay. Once the meaning had transferred from the substance to the shape, piggy banks began to be made from other substances, including glass, plaster, and plastic.

Another reason for the name piggy bank that has been put forward is based upon the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the food fed to a pig by the farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig which he does not get back until the pig is slaughtered for the meat (represented by breaking the piggy bank) which the farmer can then sell."

Answer 2

The piggy bank, the much maligned savings device, that in it's simplest form, teaches you the values of thrift, saving, and perils of borrowing.

If you want to buy something, put your spare change and extra money in a piggy bank, count it every week to re-inforce your saving resolve.
If you borrow from your piggy bank, you will never pay it back, and you will never reach your goals.

By feeding your piggy bank religiously, you learn to do with out the non essentials in life.

Don't under estimate the CONCEPT of the piggy bank. To understand, will make you rich
to ignore puts you with all the people with money problems
