11 Genius Kickstarter Projects That You Should Get Behind

11. Ernit - Digital Piggy Bank

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/187482891/ernittm-the-smart-piggy-bank?ref=discovery ERNIT is a piggy bank for the modern world. It consists of an app connected to an electronic piggy bank. It allows children to set financial goals (i.e. I want that super cool red bike) and then track their progress towards it. Anyone with the app can transfer money to the digital piggy bank and it can even handle multiple projects at once, allowing the kids to divide their savings up for different goals. I know what you're thinking, what kinds of kids have "financial goals"? When we were kids, the most we had to think about was whether we had enough 5ps for a Freddo and a jelly snake, but the makers of ERNIT believe that this is more than just a piggy bank, it's a powerful learning tool. For a start, money is now digital, ERNIT allows your kids' pocket money to move with the times. Secondly, the cycle of financial booms and busts over the last couple of decades has led to a culture of debt, borrowing and poor financial intelligence. The creators of ERNIT hope that teaching our kids how to manage their money responsibly, set goals and save in the digital age could help us break the cycles of deeper and deeper debt that almost everybody lives with these days.
