College Money—Easy Search

money for college, scholarships, grants

 When John, our oldest son, was starting his college career, we did our early research for scholarships in the public library reference section. We pored over huge volumes of The College Bluebook – Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants and Loans. We took copious notes and made numerous copies of pertinent pages. Later, we found free web sites to aid us in our search and provide custom-tailored information. These cut our search time immensely.

Free Tax Software

lower taxes

A couple of years ago we paid a tax professional to help us with our taxes. Bill did a great job and got us a maximum refund. It was at that same time that we heard about Turbo Tax online Tax Freedom deal. If you meet certain criteria (lower income, military service or you qualify for the Earned Income Credit) you can use Turbo Tax for free. We ran our numbers through Turbo Tax and got the same result as the paid professional. Since that time we’ve been using Turbo Tax for our own taxes and for our kids too.

When our kids were younger, we'd buy lots of party decorations and party favors from Oriental Trading Company. Whenever the catalog would arrive, each of the kids would spend hours circling the "cool" things that they wanted to have for toys and as trinkets to decorate with when guests arrived. We experienced good delivery and good customer service.
