$2,500 Giveaway from IN CollegeChoice529

Do you have a college savings account (529 Plan) for your kiddo?  Have you been thinking about it, but dragging your feet?  If you haven't already, you should check out www.collegechoicedirect.com.  We have a Indiana 529 CollegeChoice savings account for each of our kids, and we contribute a modest amount each month (directly deposited from my paycheck so I can't accidentally spend it!).  This account, while modest, will grow with compound interest over the next decade (+) to when my kids are ready for college.  It can be used for tuition, fees, books, housing - anything for college, trade school, or even graduate school.  AND, in addition to feeling good about saving some each month, we get a tax credit at the end of each year for 20% of what we contributed.  It is a WIN WIN!  Where else are you going to make 20% on the money you're saving?

September is College Savings month, and  to celebrate the state is giving away $2,500 toward a CollegeChoice 529 Savings Plan.  To enter, go to www.collegechoicedirect.com/september
