Want to set money aside for a goal?  Hate using a credit card for major purchases?  SmartyPig may be what you need.

SmartyPig allows you to lay out your goals and save money online.  Unlike the old piggy banks, you can see how much progress you've made towards your goals.  In addition, you let the computers take care of the discipline;  just set up an electronic transfer and it can happen for you every month.

If you want to hit your friends up for money, SmartyPig can help.  It's set up to work with Facebook and other social networking sites.  You can hold yourself accountable publicly, and get a little help from your friends.

To learn more about SmartyPig, see our complete SmartyPig review.  Have you used the service?  Share your story and let others know what to expect.

Hey Justin! What a great article, nice work. Don’t forget that we currently offer one of the most competitive interest rates at 2.15% APY AND cash back when it’s time to redeem your account.
I hope others take your great advice and jump the SmartyPig train too!

Thanks Sarah. I should mention the article/review was written by Erin ONeil, who’s been doing a great job on the site lately.
