What does rainy day fund mean?
- Rainy day fund
- A rainy day or rainy day fund is a reserved amount of money to be used in times when regular income is disrupted or decreased in order for typical operations to continue.

This is critical to the operations of most states, which do not permit their governments to take on debt, meaning that services would have to be cut in the absence of reserve funds.New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli recommended in March 2010 that the state require that one half of surpluses be deposited into the rainy day fund. The Massachusetts rainy day fund has been the focus of tussles between the Governor of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts General Court.
