- Also, Crystal @ Money Saving Mom has a regular feature on her blog called We Paid Cash. Last week she included a post by me: We Paid Cash: Our Daughter’s First Two Years of College. I encourage you to check it out, not so much for my post, but for the comments. There was a really great discussion that followed. Lots of different ideas and opinions. Also, if you’ve never been to Crystal’s blog before, it’s a great resource of money-saving ideas and inspiration. Thanks, Crystal!
Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend, everyone!
