Saving money isn't easy. Every time you put some away, it seems, a new thing that you've just gotta buy comes along and cleans your savings right out. What you need, my friend, are some goals. Goals that you can attain by carefully tallying your savings up. But when you're talking pocket change, who has the time or energy to count it?

Enter Japanese ingenuity. This Life Bank One counter is a wee device that screws on top of any standard bottle, turning it into a little bank for you. It counts your change up, letting you know exactly how much you've got in there. It might help you save by helping you to set goals, but then again it might just show that you have just enough change to go out and splurge on that new video game you really want. Who can tell? In any case, it's a neat little gadget, no? — Adam Frucci
