You know that you spend a fortune on small stuff like magazines, coffee, treats at the movies and lunches out. You know you should cut back, and save the money instead, but how? Easy. The way to cut back is to get some love for doing it! From who? The person you share goals with! A new website called piggymojo sets you up.
Here's how it works: When you or your partner cut back on something, take out your phone and text or tweet piggymojo to commit the money you just saved to your common goal. Piggymojo forwards your savings texts, "$6 pie" for example, to your partner—and theirs are forwarded to you. This way, you can see each other cutting back and contributing to the goal you share, whether it's a vacation, an emergency fund, or whatever. That's love!
Each save builds momentum toward your goal and inspires you, so cutting back gets easier for both of you. Before you know it, your savings will pile up.
While other services track your spending, Piggymojo tracks your savings. It's way more fun and leads to more hugs and fewer arguments!
Sign up and get saving together! It's free, fun and easy!

I just signed up today! My fiance and I have been talking about saving and budgeting for so long and just don't know how to go about it. This should be a great tool for us :)

My husband and I signed up too and we've been having a great time saving (without feeling deprived)! We've given up the random cab rides and instead get fun texts from each other midday.

i work with couples who've just had new new babies and are feeling the financial pinch as well as the lack of time for communication. This sounds like a good bet for them on both counts.

I like this twist on monitoring the finances. I kinda get tired of looking at mint ( not to put it down) but I like to see something different in regards to savings.
Truth be told, though, I am glad to see someone did. It looks like a terrific way to make savings fun. Hope lots of people use it!
