'Tis the season for graduations, grad parties and all that jazz. My kiddos aren't there yet, not even close but I was thinking, is it ever too early to think about college? College tuition seem to be on the rise just like everything else in our country. Maybe there's no better time than the present to start thinking about college.
Have you ever heard of U-Promise? How about using coupons that donate the savings towards your child's college education? I had heard of U Promise while standing around the gas pump waiting for my tank to fill. Recently I got an email about U-Promise and coupons being hooked up. That sounds like an interesting idea.
U-Promise's slogan is "Turn Everyday Spending Into Saving For The Future". Here you can sign up and start saving money for your child's education right away. And how does this translate to coupons? You can download e-coupons to be used at the grocery store.
Is that neat or what?
I do use coupons, but I have to cut and collect them. This eliminates a large part of the hassle. And us parents already have enough on our plates so saving time and streamlining are really good things.

Speaking of college, a new website called:
Zero Tuition College
was launched today. Intriguing, right? It is "Self-Directed College for Self-Directed Learners. Wow, that is me and my boys in a nutshell. I encourage all you knowledge hungry people to check it out I know I will whenever I have a free moment. (I may need to schedule that on my calendar.) This may be an option to turn to for your bored children this summer. Whenever they cry "I'm bored", you can tell them happily that you have an "opportunity for them".
Life is all about making the best
out of the opportunities we have.
