You probably grew up with a piggy bank. You know, the type that has a cork on the bottom and a coin slot on top. Or perhaps it was an ATM-style plastic device that sucked up dollar bills. In any case, there is a lot of nostalgia for piggy banks.
Since opening a real bank account as an adult you likely forgot all about your old way of saving money, relegating it to the back of your closet. But many people on TikTok are bringing piggy banks back, and with good reason!
While traditional bank accounts offer savers both security and interest, a piggy bank adds a tangible, visual element to saving that can make the process more engaging, rewarding, and connect us back to nostalgia from our childhood, and we all know how powerful nostalgia is.
Whether you’re saving for a rainy day, a special treat, or a vacation, using a piggy bank is a playful way to complement other, more structured financial strategies, which often don't feel as fun. You might also be surprised by how much you save.
