Cut an entry point in any part of the container, but I usually cut at the bottom and make sure that the coin fits on it.

 This account is for managing your daily expenses and bills. This would include things like your rent, mortgage, utilities, bills, taxes, food, clothes, etc. Basically it includes anything that you need to live, the necessities.

2.        Financial Freedom Account 

This is for your investment. This jar is your ticket to financial freedom. The money that you put into this jar is used for investments and building your passive income streams. Never spend this money. The only time you would spend this money is once you become financially free. Even then you would only spend the returns on your investment. Never spend the principal or else you'll get bankrupt!

3.       3. Education Account 

Money in this jar is intended to further your education and personal growth. An investment in yourself is a fantastic way to use your money. You are your most important asset. Never forget this. I have used education money to buy books, CD's, attending courses or anything else that has educational value.

The money in this jar is for the bigger nice to have purchases. This is for your long term spending like car maintenance, laptop, furniture and gadgets.

This is my most wanted account. Play money is spent every month on purchases you wouldn't normally make. The purpose of this jar is to cherish you. You could buy a high-priced bottle of wine at dinner, get a massage in a health spa or go on a weekend getaway. Play can be anything your heart wishes. 

6.        Give Account 

The money in this account is for charity. You can use this account to help other people or to give to family and friends on birthdays, special occasions and holidays. Money is not everything you can also give away your time instead of giving money. Help your family, friends or neighbors in their household chores or volunteer in your community.
