Saving Money for College

College may seem far away, but in reality it is right around the corner. Remember how fast the first semester went? Well this one will go by even faster. And there is not much time left to save.

Going off on your own means paying for your own stuff, that includes food, rent, books, and even money to do your laundry. So what do you do with so little time left and not enough money? Start saving now!

One foolproof way to save money is to open an iSave account. For twelve straight months you will deposit $25 into this savings account and if you are good and you don’t touch the money then on the thirteenth month Shell FCU will GIVE YOU $25, plus the dividends you are already earning. Dividends + $25 + the money you saved on your own = A lot of money!

Along with opening an iSave, you could save numerous other ways. Cut out the nonessentials. Do you really need that fluffy steering wheel cover? Or maybe you could buy cheaper things. Like instead of buying designer jeans from Buckle, you could hit up the sale rack and Target. The little things go a long way.
