Jam Jar pots

[johnnygrr]

Every month when I get paid, and i’m sure i’m not alone, I figure out how much money I need to put aside for house bills, food shopping, petrol etc. It’s called Jam Jar budgeting and I think this would be a really nice fit for pots.

I should be able to set up a pot for “house bills”, and as soon as I get paid money gets put straight into that pot. I should then be able to assign standing orders / direct debits to come straight out of that pot. I should be able to have a “food shopping” pot, and drag and drop transactions out of my history onto that pot and the value of the pot goes down accordingly.

Just a thought!!

You can assign direct debits and standing orders to come out of a pot already?

Admittedly it’s not quite as easy to have shopping transactions (i.e. card) come from a pot, but it can be done via IFTTT.

You can do all of the above already with the exception of:

Although I do like that idea

You can’t do the drag and drop part but if you use IFTTT then you can have your Tesco (or anywhere) food shop come out of your food pot.
