Saving for College During the Elementary Years

Many of us with children in elementary school dread the day that we’re faced with bills for college tuition. We talk about our children going away to college to become veterinarians, lawyers, and even writers and race car drivers (hey, they have their own dreams), but who is going to pay for this education and more importantly, how. Our children may not realize that some of us haven’t started saving or that we even need to. Unfortunately, their dreams may be left behind as they step into the adult world. 

Whether you have already started building a nest egg or not, there are some easy ways for you to start saving pennies. I’m not going to talk to you about Educational IRAs or investment accounts, although you should definitely consider talking to a financial planner. I’m talking about things you can do now to start saving with no investment on your part.
