Other savings tips to do * UPromise http://www.upromise.com/ sign up to have some portion (small but it adds up slowly) of you credit card expenses put into a 529 plan (though 529 plan deposit options are limited). * Get relatives (mainly grandparents, but if you can convince siblings and cousins, even better!) to also sign up their credit cards to UPromise and your 529 plan. * on 529 plans: get relatives to contribute to said plan.
