2009 College Education Used 
The Frugal Girl
NOVEMBER 27, 2023
I made some foolish choices shortly after graduating college, burning through my savings and running up credit card bills. We bought our house in March 2009, during some of the worst of the recession and the housing bubble bursting. Did you ever receive any financial education in school or from your parents? Not really.

I’ve written about Upromise by Sallie Mae before and how it is such a great way to save for college (or pay off loans) while you are doing your everyday shopping, eating out, or even pumping gas. But did you know that you can save for college when you shop online? ©2009-13 Saving Cents with Sense ™, a website of Saving Sense Media LLC.

I have a passion for higher education. Part of the reason is because I worked in higher education for over 10 years, have several degrees and love to learn. But another huge reason is because I know that a college education can make a huge impact in one’s life. Funds can be used at most accredited colleges.

College textbooks can be down right pricey. I remember books costing $100 or more when I was in college several years ago, and prices have continued to rise to where some books are now close to $200 (and that is just one book!). I really like that this FREE resource is available for college students on tight budgets.

My interest in frugality is less about saving money specifically, and more about making good use of the resources I have. Making good use of the resources I have – not only money, but my health, physical abilities, skills, etc. How did you get interested in saving money? I love winter – trees on my favorite trail 4.
