High School Sons

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

With three sons in high school, all of whom will be heading off to college within the next three years, my husband and I are in serious money saving mode. We’ve done a pretty good job of saving up until this point, and each boy has his own college fund, but we’re not naïve enough to think we won’t have a ton of unexpected expenses pop up. In order to save as much money as possible, we clip coupons, shop on the sale rack, and even looked into how to save money on our utilities. This is obviously not an area many people think about, but it can yield a huge cost savings. We started turning our heat down and invested a little in insulation, which helped. The big savings have come from finding a new natural gas provider, though. I had no idea how much money we were wasting on our energy bills every month. We called Shop electricity rates TEXAS and were able to switch to a new provider, and we started saving a lot of money instantly. It was one of the easiest ways I’ve ever found to save money. I wish I’d have done it sooner, actually. Those college funds would be a lot bigger by now!
