Has anyone heard of Smartypig.com

I read about it in Parents Magazine and decided to check out the website.  Has anyone used this site as a money savings route?

hm, interesting site. it wouldnt be for me, personally, because i don't feel like i need the assistance. i mean, you could do some simple math to figure out how much you need to save per month to reach a goal. i wonder if the gift card thing is really true - that would be the only advantage for me. if you're bad at saving though i bet it would be a good motivator.

 

depending on how much $$ we're talking about, i might not be keen on the idea of putting cash into a new smaller bank right now. it's FDIC insured but who knows how quickly you could get your money back if they did go under, i wouldnt want to have to figure out who to call, how to go about it, etc.
