Japan's New Way of Saving: The Bank of Life

We have grown accustomed to the habit of placing our loose change in our ever dependable piggy banks. Now, wouldn't it be nice to have a bank that is "tamagotchi" in nature.

Here it is. Introducing the Bank of Life.

Upon closer inspection, users will find out that there is a virtual man waiting...

This bank holds up to a whopping 100,000 Yen.

But hold on, there's more...

He starts off living in a very shabby apartment. And as soon as you put money inside the Life Bank, he will slowly earn virtual money in the process. Soon enough, he will move to a bigger apartment, start drinking wine, have a pet, and will even get married in the process. Through it all, the person will be so rich in his virtual world that you will find out that you too will be 100,000 Yen richer.
