Guides / The basics

How many jars should you have?

Start with three. Add as you go.

3 min read

Too many jars can be hard to keep up with. Start with the ones that hurt most when they arrive.

Good first jars

  • Car: insurance, registration and repairs
  • Holidays and gifts
  • Annual bills and subscriptions

Add later

Once those are running, add jars for home repairs, travel, medical costs or back-to-school.
