I'm signed up to an email service that sends me a review on a new website every day. Today they sent me Smartypig.com.

SmartyPig is essentially a website similar to a savings account that helps you budget and save money. It is entirely free and provides a yearly interest rate depending on the amount of money in your account, AND it allows your family and friends to contribute either directly through the site, or through social networking sites like Facebook using their widget.

The site allows you to set up your account so that you can save for something specific. That way it knows the cost of what you're saving for and can help you calculate what you should be saving and how you can do that. When you've met your goal you can choose to either have the money sent to a Mastercard debit card, directly back to your bank account, or have it placed on a specific retail card like Best Buy or Amazon.com.

The site is verified by Verisigned.com, McAfee Secure, and TRUSTe.com and is also tested by Netted.net
Unfortunately, SmartyPig is only available to the USA and Australia.
