Right before the pandemic started, I opened 529 College Savings Accounts for our daughters. My oldest was in eighth grade and one of my goals for 2020 was to start saving consistently for both daughters’ college education. Since March of 2020, over $1300 has been transferred into my daughters’ 529 College Savings Accounts.

When my husband hung a smart TV in the sunroom back in April, we started spending more time in the room–even our teenage daughters started hanging out with us. So we started shopping around and were shocked to find how expensive outdoor furniture has become. The moral of this story is to always ask and always ask politely.
