Rainy Day Money: We all need a peanut butter jar. Mayonnaise will do

Earlier I wrote that I’d find an empty peanut butter jar and start putting some of my hard-earned money away for tough times ahead.

I’m happy to report I’ve got the jar. (Sorry, it’s a mayo jar).

I even mentioned how I’d save $10 of rainy day money per week.

To put my money where my mouth is, I’ve decided to give up on the Fri. 13th ride to Port Dover tomorrow.

The gas money saved (about $14 according to my calculations) will go into my mayonnaise jar.

I admit, I said a PB jar, but it got recycled right under my nose.

I’m going to sell nine rustic bluebird houses for $10 each too (Yes, I know. They’re worth much, much more!), to keep the ball rolling for a month or so.


Are you putting money aside for tough times?

$10 per week is a good way to start. The habit locks in after just a few weeks.
