Our home owner’s insurance, auto insurance, and local real-estate taxes (for our home and our business property) are due, and on top of that, there have been years where we also owed the Federal government. Every month going forward, transfer this money into a separate savings account that is connected to your checking account.

Possible sources include: Neighbors or real estate investors who tore out perfectly good materials and want to get rid of them. Garage or estate sales. Check with your barber, beautician, lawyer, accountant and most especially with any real estate agents you know. The How-To of Savings. Thrift shops.

Because we only have a week to show results, and because savings account interest rates have been near zero each year since camps started, I have routinely given the jar 50% interest. Trepidation about having the grand-kids open a savings account. Both are now old enough to open a bank savings account.
