College tuition prices keep rising - things are much more expensive now than they were when I went to college. That means, people need to do what they can to save as early as possible ...
Whether parents are paying for their kids, the kids need to get loans or pay for themselves, or you're older and need to dip into your own savings, there are things you can do to take the burden off the cost.

Sign Up for Upromise
When I first heard about Upromise I thought it sounded too good to be true. Earn money in your Upromise account for college just by shopping. For example, when I was sitting on the Avis Rental Car shuttle I noticed a Upromise banner. Just by renting a car at Avis, I could get Upromise cash back.
I later learned that signing up for the program is completely free. We don't have to pay a cent to get the money - all we need to do is sign up and shop.
