The three basic needs of man which are clothing, food, and housing, rest on the foundation which adequately supplies all. Money is this foundation as anyone who has it will be able to get all these three without hassle. Having money is a thing as many people have it but not so many are capable of using the money to adequately answer or provide the three basic needs of life. Many of them lack proper financial literacy. That is the reason why so many have it, yet are named ‘poor’. Having money or financial source is the same as having nothing or being poor without an adequate financial literacy. So it is pertinent that people are educated financially. Education is not just a thing to be jumped at and become a master of it in a short while especially when it comes to financial education. One has to be gradually educated to become a master. This is why financial education is important at all levels especially from childhood.
One of the best financial education tools from the ages past has been the traditional piggy bank. But it is to be noted that the fiat currencies are becoming outdated as the world is turning to the digital currencies. Digital piggy banks could have been the best solution but it has some disadvantages: high fee, geographical location limitations, security, etc.
The best solution is Pigzbe:

There is the Pigzbe physical device which works as a cold storage for the tokens and a game controller for the mobile app. The game is interactive and allows children to learn through excitement. There is a card through which the tokens can be spent. The card is designed with active parental control as it cannot be used to buy adult items like alcohol, tobacco etc.
How it works
Pigzbe allows parents and family members to reward children and help them practice good financial habits. Children earn WLO (Wollo Token) through their parent and family network. The Pigzbe network utilizes the theory of discipline through continuously repeated action to help children save and earn from their parents or family microfinancing.

The parent creates a primary account which directs or manages the network. Other family members or children can join the network via the authorization of the primary account. Funds or tokens cannot be sent to the children’s account without the authorization of the primary or parent account. The primary account can set tasks to be completed within a time frame for the child and a reward is attached for the completion of each task. The primary account can also schedule a recurring allowance for the children on a regular basis.
With Pigzbe, the future of children are secured with lots of fun
