When a jar falls short

Borrow from another jar, not a card.

3 min read

Sometimes a bill is bigger than the jar. That's normal, especially in the first year.

What to do

  • Move money from a jar with more time left
  • Raise that jar's monthly amount
  • Use the emergency fund only for true emergencies
  • Note what happened so next year's estimate is better
