As I mentioned in a previous post it’s never too early to start saving for your child’s college fund! With all the Black Friday sales I can’t help, but think about all the great deals out there. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and lose sight of the goals we’ve set to help us achieve financial peace of mind.

With tuition costs rising faster than inflation, by the time our kid heads off to college tuition will be through the roof. It’s never too early to start saving.

Birthday money — have the child keep a small portion and put the rest in a savings account. A piggy bank at your baby shower for change then keep adding your lose change at home. You would be amazed at how fast it adds up.
