S
ave for a rainy day is a
phrase that reminds
people to save money when
times are good so they have
money to use when there is
a big expense, or the ability
to earn money stops.
Most people save for a
rainy day by putting a little
money aside each week,
or each month. They put
these “savings” into a bank
account or a piggy bank or
even a jar.

Why have a rainy-day fund?
Tomas’ parents gave him $2 every week for
allowance. But when the pandemic
caused his father’s company to
close for a few months, his dad
could no longer give Tomas
an allowance.
Tomas had been putting 50¢ of
his weekly allowance into a Rainy-Day
Fund jar for a year. That totaled
$26. So even though he wasn’t
getting an allowance, Tomas
still had some money if
he needed it.
When his dad’s company opened back up,
Tomas started getting his allowance again.
But this time, he started adding 75¢ to his
rainy day jar every week.

START
How much should go
into a “rainy-day” fund?
How much is in Alma’s bank?
Alma’s grandmother sends her $25
every year on her birthday. Alma is
11 years old, and her
grandmother started
sending the money to
her on her 5th birthday.
Alma saved half of the
money each year in her
Rainy-Day Fund piggy bank. How
much is in Alma’s piggy bank
now? Write the amount on
the bank’s label.
You don’t have to put a lot of money
into your rainy-day fund all at once.
What matters most is putting a little
bit of money into your fund on a
FINISH
regular basis. For example,
if you get an allowance
once a week, put part of
your weekly allowance into
your rainy-day fund every
time you get your allowance.

Martina’s Money Mistakes
LUMBER MILLS
Martina earned $5.00 each week watering and weeding her neighbor’s
garden. Unfortunately, Martina spent almost all of that money every
week building up her sticker collection.
My Rainy-Day
Fund Pledge
Martina’s neighbor moved away last month.
Martina’s bike got a flat tire and she doesn’t
have the money to get it replaced. She now
wishes she had saved money in a Rainy-Day
Fund jar like her cousin Tomas.
