(*) JARS System (The Six Jars System) was created by the author of the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” as a method to manage your personal finance more effectively and easily, even when your income is quite modest.

Basically, according to this system, you will split your money up into six different accounts by particular percentages or ratios, which helps control your money better. Below is the specific information about each jar:

  • JAR No. 1: Necessities Account – NEC (55% OF INCOME)

You will use 55% of your income for expenses which help you meet your daily necessities, such as meals, bills and shopping. Because this is used for the most basic and essential needs, it will account for the highest percentage of your income.

  • JAR NO. 2: Long-Term Saving – LTS (10% INCOME)

This saving is used for long-term goals such as buying a car, buying a house, having a baby, fulfilling your dreams, etc. This gives you better awareness of your goals and the drive to achieve them. It’s important that you save as soon as you receive your income to avoid spending it.

  • JAR NO. 3: Education Account – EDU (10% INCOME)

It is essential that 10% of the income should be used for educational activities to broaden your knowledge such as buying books or attending workshops and courses. This is a good investment for your growth, which enables you to generate more income in the future.

  • JAR NO. 4: Play Account – PLY (10% INCOME)

Money that comes out of the play account is used to have fun. This is the money you spend on going shopping and taking care of yourself to make you feel motivated to work better. In other words, this is a fund to reward yourself and it gives you more energy to strive in life. So, if you have not used up this fund, you may not be taking good care of yourself enough, and this in the long run can cause imbalance in life.

  • JAR NO. 5: Financial Freedom Account – FFA (10% INCOME)

This is the amount you use to participate in passive income-generating activities such as savings, investments, business capital contributions. By doing this, you have created a “goose” that lays golden eggs to use when you are no longer working.

  • JAR NO. 6: CHARITY FUND – GIV (5% INCOME)

This is the money you use to do charity and help the community, relatives, and friends. If you have more to pay, reduce this rate, but always make a deduction to help others.
