My grandma gave me this advice (she was married in the days of women not working and husbands being the sole provider): Put $20 a week aside in a jar because you never know what could happen to your husband.

I don't know about cash in a jar, but everybody needs "rainy day" money. Not necessarily because something could happen to your husband, but just because cars break down, the garbage disposal breaks, etc.
