Building a rent jar before due date

Why jars beat "I will save later"

Rent due dates do not move. Saving monthly toward annual rent keeps you from borrowing or wiping out your emergency fund.

Set the target

Enter your full annual rent as the jar target. Orjar calculates a monthly amount — treat that as a bill, not optional savings.

Stay on track

If you are behind, top up from buckets with room (often Misc or Pay yourself) rather than skipping a month.

Pair with reminders

Note your landlord due date in the jar. Two weeks before, check saved vs required and close any gap early.
