Start a gift fund

A separate savings account for gifts.

3 min read

Keeping gift money separate means it's there when you need it, and it doesn't quietly fund other things.

How

  1. Open a separate savings account, or use a savings bucket if your bank offers one
  2. Set an automatic transfer for your monthly gift amount
  3. Pay for gifts from this account only
  4. Carry anything left over into next year
