Spending money is a favorite past time for many, but when it comes to saving, most of us are in a quandary. After all, the benefits are not there to be seen currently, but will only be reaped many years down the road (especially when you want to drop a downpayment for that lovely apartment you have targeted for your family). This Bank Quest piggy bank helps kids (and some adults) save their pennies for a rainy day as it features a built-in RPG game. You can power up your character by purchasing various items such as weapons and armor as long as you continue to drop coins inside. You can technically save up to 50,000 yen inside, which translates to roughly half a thousand greenbacks. The Bank Quest Piggy Bank will hit retail stores this August in Japan.
