I wish we had started even earlier ...Thanks Sharon,<br />I wish we had started even earlier than we did w/saving for college....but getting the house paid off was the 1st priority with the extra money each year.<br />Then that freed up mortgage $ and the yearly bonuses got dumped into the college acct. I just hope the college inflation doesn't ramp up more than it is now and the money holds out! 8-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-63365464470200551932013-03-11T15:07:20.820-04:002013-03-11T15:07:20.820-04:00Hehehehe....mine does too, but I don't let the...Hehehehe....mine does too, but I don't let them. ;-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-23294451837175977402013-03-11T14:36:08.604-04:002013-03-11T14:36:08.604-04:00Love to see your progress & how your handling ...Love to see your progress & how your handling college expenses!

This is for long term savings but is also used for other things - $2400 went into my RRSP which is the max I can contribute since my school board deducts a large amount for my pension which is linked to my RSP contribution limit. Also I save for large purchases and plan to buy a pickup truck (used of course) by the end of June for my trip to the east coast (its time to start moving some furniture out there. So that said I hope to save around $20000 over and above these other expenses. IF ALL GOES WELL (hope Murphy heard me!) I do keep track in my side bar but haven't updated in the last month or two. I better get crackin'!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-75018936615802546382013-03-09T19:19:47.468-05:002013-03-09T19:19:47.468-05:00We always spend less than I make.

Some extra money came in this month, but I don't know what will going to savings until we pay off some medical bills I am waiting to receive. But some will go into savings.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.com
