Help us save for college

It may seem very odd that we are asking people to help us save for college while Lily is only 10 1/2 months old. We fully expect that by the time Lily goes to college it will cost so much that if we don't start saving now we will never be able to afford it. We discovered a great way of saving for college that doesn't cost us a thing. It is called upromise. We did all of the research to make sure it is legitimate and we were thrilled to find out that it had the support of many people and businesses.

Here is how it works. You need to register with at http://www.upromise.com. It will ask you for your credit card numbers, your shopper card numbers for your grocery store or drug store, and who you want to save for. Then whenever you go to certain restaurants or shop at your local grocery store, a certain percentage of what you spend goes automatically to Lily's college fund. If you are interested in helping out, or just want more information, send me an e-mail.

Update: Laurel wanted to make sure you knew that this doesn't cost you a thing! The manufacturers, restaurants, and businesses make the contribution based on your spending. So far we have raised a little over $65 this way and it has not cost us a single dime!
