As I do the math, I wish I'd saved more... even the first quarter was much more than I'd expected, given all the additional & lab fees. I shared this tip on someone else's blog - but for textbooks, find out what you need at your campus, but buy them in Amazon's used market. I got them for about 35-33% of the new price, as compared to the 80% used price at the college bookstore (if even available used). Holy, I hear ya!

Good for Smug Son numero uno..a son about to go to college - I think I'd feel old too....but also young, because the sooner the boys fly out of the cuckoo's nest, the sooner you can sprout your own wings. Where ever that might lead you. I’ve been thinking a lot lately of saving for college fund – we’re only 7 years away…time to get cracking, I guess.
